Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for driving a plasma display panel in which brightness of the panel can be controlled corresponding to the ambient brightness. According to the present invention, the method for driving the plasma display panel includes the steps of sensing the ambient brightness at a location where the panel is disposed, and controlling the brightness of the panel corresponding to the sensed brightness. Furthermore, the apparatus for driving the plasma display panel includes a plurality of driving units for driving electrodes formed in the panel, a timing controller for controlling the driving units, and a brightness sensor for sensing the ambient brightness at a location where the panel is disposed, wherein the timing controller controls the driving units corresponding to the ambient brightness received from the brightness sensor. |
