APPARATUS AND DRIVING METHOD OF PLASMA DISPLAY

摘要

A plasma display device and a driving method thereof. The plasma display device includes drivers for scan, sustain and address electrodes and a controller for controlling the drivers. The scan electrode driver includes a capacitor whose charge is proportional to an on period of a switch included in the driver circuit or may be otherwise controlled. By controlling the charge of the capacitor, a voltage difference between the reset falling voltage and the select voltage that are applied to the scan electrodes during the reset and subsequent address periods can be controlled to control the discharge margin and to correspond to the design of the plasma display device. The need for a Zener diode with a high withstand voltage is alleviated.
