PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for driving a plasma display capable of preventing an erroneous discharge by lowering the potential difference between a scan electrode Y and a sustain electrode Z in a setup period. SOLUTION: In the apparatus and the method for driving the plasma display including first and second electrode driving units for applying a driving waveform to first and second electrodes formed in parallel on a front panel, the second electrode driving unit applies a first bias voltage having a certain value not greater than a sustain voltage to the second electrode during a set-up period. The second electrode driving unit does not apply to a sustain electrode a voltage of a ground level but applies a voltage having a certain value not greater than the sustain voltage, particularly, a voltage of a size of about half the sustain voltage, during the period of the set-up.
