ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a plasma display apparatus and driving method thereof, wherein rising and/or falling times of data pulses applied to address electrodes in an address period are controlled to reduce noise generation. Thus, address discharge is stabilized, discharge efficiency of plasma display panel is enhanced, and electrical damage to data drive ICs is prevented. The plasma display apparatus includes a plasma display panel including a plurality of address electrodes, a data driving unit including a plurality of data drive ICs that has a plurality of channels, wherein the data drive ICs are electrically connected to the address electrodes through the channels and drive the address electrodes, and a data pulse controller that controls the voltage-rising time and/or the voltage-falling time of the data pulses applied to the plurality of the address electrodes in an address period to be a sufficient duration, e.g. 100 ns or longer, by controlling the data driving unit.
