A plasma display panel (PDP) driving apparatus and a method for displaying pictures on the PDP increases the ability to express low gray scales without increasing the number of sub-fields. Input picture signal data are delayed by one frame and the number of high-order bits, from most significant bits not commonly used by all picture signal data within one frame, is detected. When the number of unused bits is detected, inverse gamma-corrected decimal point bits are shifted to an actual data position by the number of unused bits so as to increase power of expression of low gray scale. The decimal point bits are converted into sub-fields having low gray scale weights, in consideration of the shifting to the actual data position, for display on the PDP. |
