Abstract: A plasma display device and a method of driving the same, capable of reducing or preventing the deterioration of components such as a switching device, due to an overcurrent. In a reset period, in order to cause the voltage of a scan electrode to ramp down from a first voltage to a second voltage, a panel driver includes a falling ramp switch that repeats turn-on/turn-off operations, alternately coupling and de-coupling a low-level power supply to the scan electrode, resulting in a gradually falling ramp waveform. A switch controller generates a switching pulse to control the falling ramp switch. Each turn-on time of the switching pulse for the initial falling ramp waveform following a power-on of the plasma display device is controlled to be shorter than each turn-on time of the switching pulse for other falling ramp waveform.

Abstract: An apparatus for driving a plasma display panel that includes first and second signal lines for supplying first and second voltages, respectively, and first and second inductors coupled to one terminal of a panel capacitor. A first current path is formed from the panel capacitor to the second signal line via the second inductor to drop the voltage of the panel capacitor from the first voltage to the second voltage. A second current path is formed to recover the current flowing to the second inductor towards the first signal line, while the voltage of the panel capacitor is sustained at the second voltage. A third current path is formed from the first signal line to the panel capacitor via the first inductor while the current flowing to the second inductor is recovered, to raise the voltage of the panel capacitor from the second voltage to the first voltage.
