PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SAME

摘要

A PDP display apparatus and a method for driving the same, wherein an improvement of display quality can be realized by suppressing the peak values of discharge currents flowing through scan electrodes and sustain electrodes during sustain intervals without any raise of the cost of the apparatus. In the PDP display apparatus, during a sustain interval (T3), a display drive part (20) applies sustain-data-pulses (320) to a plurality of third electrodes (D) such that the timing of commencement of a rise of voltage waveform is different between at least a pair of adjacent third electrodes at a reference time point when the voltages of pulses (300,310) applied to pairs of electrodes (scan electrode SCN and sustain electrode SUS) reach a predetermined potential.
