PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL DRIVING CIRCUIT AND PLASMA DISPLAY APPARATUS

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a PDP driving circuit and a plasma display apparatus each of which controls a discharge current at the time of sustain discharge by carrying out a switching operation during a power source clamping while changing a turn-on time, so as to display an image whose brightness is suppressed without deteriorating the gray scale. A PDP driving circuit (701) for driving a PDP (10) is constructed by connecting in parallel at least two switching elements (S51, S52) whose turn-on times are different from each other such that the switching elements (S51, S52) can be controlled independently as switches for applying a predetermined potential to scan electrodes and sustain electrodes.
