PLASMA DISPLAY APPARATUS AND DRIVING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plasma display apparatus which reduces noise and further prevents high-temperature erroneous discharge and low-temperature erroneous discharge, and to provide a driving method therefor. SOLUTION: An applying moment of a data signal to be applied to all the address electrodes X1to Xnfor an address period of one sub-field is different from that of a scanning signal to be applied to a corresponding or selected scanning signal, and at this moment, signal voltage to be applied to a sustain electrode and an address electrode for a set down period in a reset period is set to the ground level GND. Thus, when sustaining the signal voltage of the sustain electrode to the ground level GND for the set down period in the reset period while staggering the applying moment of the scanning signal to be applied to the scanning electrodes from that of the data signal to be applied to the address electrodes X1to Xn, a waveform which is generated by coupling between the signal applied to the scanning signal and the signal applied to the sustaining electrode and is applied to the scanning electrode can be prevented from varying.
