| 摘要 |
<p>A plasma display apparatus is disclosed, which can prevent the generation of a displacement current having an excessive magnitude, and therefore prevent an electrical damage to a driver, by applying scan signals to scan electrodes using at least one of a plurality of scan types which are different from each other in the application order of scan signals.
The plasma display apparatus comprises: a plurality of scan electrodes; a plurality of sustain electrodes formed parallel to the scan electrodes; data electrodes intersecting the scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes; a scan driver for applying scan signals to the plurality of scan electrodes using a first scan type in a first subfield of an image frame and applying scan signals to the plurality of scan electrodes using a second scan type, which is different from the first scan type in the order of applying scan signals, in a second subfield thereof; a data driver for applying data signals to the data electrodes in phase with the scan signals during an address period and applying data signals to at least one of a plurality of data electrode groups comprising at least one data electrode at a time point different from an application time point of a scan signal applied to the scan electrodes; and a sustain driver for applying to the sustain electrodes a first sustain bias signal, whose voltage is lower than that of a second sustain bias signal applied to the sustain electrodes during an address period, during a period starting from a set-down period of a reset period, which is earlier than the address period, before a scan signal is applied to the scan electrodes.
