DRIVING CIRCUIT OF PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are a driving circuit of a plasma display panel (PDP) driving circuit and a driving method thereof, which can simplify the driving circuit and stably secure a sustain discharge waveform. The PDP includes a first electrode applying a ramp-up voltage, a ramp-down voltage, a scan pulse voltage and a sustain discharge voltage; a second electrode applying a ground voltage GND and a level voltage of a second electrode; and a third electrode applying a data voltage for selecting discharge cells in an address period. In the driving method using a driving waveform divided into a reset period, an address period and a sustain period, positive and negative sustain discharge voltages are alternately applied to the first electrode and the ground voltage GND is applied to the second electrode in the sustain period.
