Plasma display apparatus

Abstract

The present invention relates to a plasma display apparatus in which the noise of a data pulse can be reduced. In the transmission process of an image signal, a low voltage signal comprising a first signal and a second signal, preferably at least one of a LVDS, a BLVDS and a MLVDS is employed. This can reduce the influence of EMI noise on the image signal. Therefore, the present invention is advantageous in that the operational reliability of a plasma display apparatus can be enhanced and the picture quality of an image implemented can be prevented from being degraded. It is also possible to save power consumption. Furthermore, a data board is omitted and image data of a low voltage is directly supplied from a control board to a flexible substrate. Therefore, there are advantages in that the cost incurred by the data board can be saved and the manufacturing unit cost of a driving apparatus of a plasma display panel can be saved accordingly. The plasma display apparatus of the present invention comprises a low voltage image data transmitter for converting an externally input image signal into low voltage image data and for transmitting the converted low voltage image data, a low voltage image data receiver for receiving the low voltage image data and for restoring an image signal, and a data drive IC unit for supplying the image signal restored by the low voltage image data receiver to an address electrode of a plasma display panel through a switching operation.
