The present invention relates to a plasma display apparatus, and more
particularly, to a plasma display apparatus and driving method thereof,
in which scan electrodes are scanned according to one of a plurality of
scan types and a last sustain pulse of sustain pulses applied to scan
electrodes or sustain electrodes is controlled. The plasma display
apparatus of the present invention comprises a plasma display panel
comprising a plurality of scan electrodes, a plurality of sustain
electrodes, and a plurality of data electrodes crossing the plurality of
scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes, and a controller for scanning
the scan electrodes using one of a plurality of scan types in which the
order of scanning the plurality of scan electrodes is different in an
address period, applies a data pulse to the data electrodes corresponding
to one scan type, and controls a difference between an application time
point of a last sustain pulse of sustain pulses, which are applied to the
scan electrodes or the sustain electrode in a sustain period subsequent
to the address period, and a application time point of a reset pulse,
which is applied to the scan electrodes in a reset period of a next
sub-field, to be greater than a difference between application time
points of the two sustain pulses, in at least one of sub-fields of a
frame.
