PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SAME, ESPECIALLY PERFORMING RESET SMOOTHLY DURING PRESET RESET PERIOD

摘要

PURPOSE: A plasma display panel and a method for driving the same are provided to control the slope of reset by determining the floating time in response to the number of the cells turned on at the previous sub-field data. CONSTITUTION: A plasma display panel includes a plasma panel(100), a controller(200), an address data driver(300), a sustain electrode driver(400) and a scan electrode driver(500). The plasma panel is provided with a plurality of address electrodes, a plurality of scan electrodes and a plurality of sustain electrodes. The controller generates the sub-field data and the sustain pulse information corresponding to each sub-field and outputs the floating control signal to control the floating time in response to the sub-field data. The address data driver applies the voltage corresponding to the sub-field data to the address electrode. The sustain electrode driver applies the voltage to the sustain electrode in response to the sustain pulse information outputted from the controller. And, the scan electrode driver applies the voltage to the scan electrode in response to the sustain pulse information by controlling the floating time in response to the floating control signal.
