Plasma display device and method for driving the same

Abstract

A plasma display device capable of stably generating a discharge between an address electrode and a scan electrode without being influence by temperature in an address period is provided. The plasma display device having a temperature detecting part that detects temperature, a scan electrode to which a scan pulse for selection is applied in the address period, an address electrode to which an address pulse is applied corresponding to the scan pulse to select emission or non-emission of a display cell, and a scan electrode drive circuit which supplies a voltage to the scan electrode in accordance with the detected temperature is provided. The scan electrode dive circuit changes a voltage of the scan electrode at a time of not applying the scan pulse in the address period in accordance with the detected temperature without changing an amplitude of the scan pulse.
