PLASMA DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DRIVING PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plasma display apparatus and a method for driving a plasma display panel by which luminance is improved while preventing decrease in resolution.

SOLUTION: The plasma display apparatus displays an interlace signal and is equipped with: a maximum sustain pulse number counting means 61 configured to count the maximum number of sustain pulses associated with emission of light that can be made within one field, based on the vertical synchronization signal frequency of the input signal; a display load factor calculating means 50 configured to calculate a display load factor of the input signal in the one field; a target sustain pulse number determining means 62 configured to determine the target number of sustain pulses for the one field based on the display load factor calculated by the display load factor calculating means; and an emission luminance ratio determining means 63 configured to determine the emission luminance ratio of a sub-display line to a main-display line in the one field based on a relationship between the target number of sustain pulses determined by the target sustain pulse number determining means and the maximum number of sustain pulses.
