A plasma display apparatus comprises: a plasma display panel comprising a plurality of scan electrodes, sustain electrodes, and address electrodes intersecting with the scan electrodes; a scan driver for applying a negative waveform and a reset waveform subsequent to the negative waveform to the scan electrode, and applying a scan waveform subsequent to the reset waveform to the scan electrode; a sustain driver for applying a positive waveform corresponding to the negative waveform to the sustain electrode; and a data driver for applying an address waveform to the address electrode. A scan waveform is applied to one scan electrode (Y) and applying time points among at least two address waveforms (X 1 , X 2 , ... X n ) applied to the address electrodes corresponding to the scan waveform are different from each other, wherein, when the temperature of the plasma display panel is more than a threshold temperature, the idle period, (WS1) which extends from an applying time point of a last sustain waveform applied to the scan electrode or the sustain electrode to an applying time point of a predetermined waveform, (end of subfield) is changed. |
