Abstract: A plasma display panel driving method and apparatus for optimizing an AV mode and a PC mode is disclosed. In the driving method and apparatus, an operation mode is selected on a basis of a motion extent of a data. At least one of a sub-field arrangement arranged within one frame interval and the number of sustaining pulses is differently controlled in response to said selected operation mode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for driving a plasma display panel that can be driven at a low voltage and prevent undesired discharge from being generated under high temperature environment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for driving a plasma display panel that can be driven at a low voltage and prevent undesired discharge from being generated under high temperature environment. A method and apparatus for driving a plasma display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first step of applying an initialization signal to the first and second electrodes to initialize cells, the initialization signal has at least one rising part where a voltage rises and at least one sustain part where the voltage is sustained; a second step of applying a scan signal to any one of the first and second electrodes, and data to the third electrode to select the cell; and a third step of alternately applying sustain signals to the first and second electrodes to carry out a display for the selected cell.

Abstract: A plasma display driving method and apparatus for stabilizing an initialization upon selective erasing in a case of simultaneously performing a selective writing and a selective erasing is disclosed. In the method and apparatus, at least one selective writing sub-field for selecting on-cells using a writing discharge is arranged within a portion of one frame period, and at least one selective erasing sub-field for selecting off-cells from the on-cells using an erase discharge is arranged within the remaining interval of one frame period other than a time period arranged with the selective writing sub-field. A normal sustaining pulse is applied to the selected on-cells to sustain a discharge of the on-cells, and an initialization pulse having at least one of a pulse width and a voltage level set to be larger than the normal sustaining pulse is applied prior to said selective erasing sub-fields.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of driving a plasma display panel for preventing a brightness spot miss-fire and a miss-writing as well as reducing a manufacturing cost are disclosed. In the apparatus, a set-up supplier supplies a rising ramp waveform to scan electrodes in an initialization period, and supplies a positive enhancing pulse to the scan electrodes during an enhancing period following said initialization period. A negative voltage supplier supplies a falling ramp waveform to the scan electrodes in the initialization period, and supplies a negative enhancing pulse to the scan electrodes during the enhancing period.

Abstract: A plasma display panel driving method for reducing power consumption in a case of simultaneously performing a selective writing and a selective erasing within one frame interval is disclosed. In the method, one frame includes a plurality of selective writing sub-fields and a plurality of selective erasing sub-fields. An erasing data pulse is applied only in an address period of any one of the plurality of selective erasing sub-fields so as to turn off a discharge cell.
