Driving apparatus for display panel and control method of the driving apparatus

Abstract

A driving apparatus of a display panel including a plurality of address electrodes, and a plurality of scanning electrodes, and sustaining electrodes alternately disposed as a pair, the driving apparatus comprising an address electrode driver processing an address signal and applying the address signal to one or more of address electrode lines, a temperature detector detecting a temperature of the address electrode driver, and a drive pulse generator applying the address signal to the address electrode driver, and outputting the address signal applied to the address electrode driver during an addressing period after decreasing voltage level of the address signal to a predetermined level, when detected by the temperature detector that the temperature of the address electrode driver is higher than a predetermined temperature.
