US Patent 7791564 Plasma display apparatus

A plasma display apparatus is disclosed. The plasma display apparatus includes a plasma display panel including first, second and third electrodes, a data driver supplying a data signal to the third electrode during an address period, and a sustain driver. The sustain driver consecutively supplies a first signal of a positive polarity direction, a second signal of a negative polarity direction, a third signal of a positive polarity direction, and a fourth signal of a negative polarity direction to the first electrode, and supplies a reference voltage to the second electrode during a sustain period. A duration of a bias period of the first signal is shorter than a duration of a bias period of the third signal.
