Plasma display apparatus

A plasma display apparatus comprising:

• a plasma display panel including an address electrode, and
• a driver supplying a data signal to the address electrode during an address period,
• wherein the data signal includes a voltage rising period during which the data signal gradually rises to a first voltage using an inductor, a voltage maintaining period during which the data signal is maintained at a second voltage higher than the first voltage, and a voltage falling period during which the data signal gradually falls to a voltage equal to or less than the second voltage,
• wherein a magnitude of the first voltage is equal to or more than one half of a magnitude of the second voltage, and is less than the magnitude of the second voltage, and
• wherein a current flowing in the inductor is more than zero ampere and is less than a maximum current value of the inductor at a time when a switch for supplying the second voltage is turned on.

A plasma display apparatus comprising:

• a plasma display panel including an address electrode;
• and
• a driver supplying a data signal to the address electrode during an address period,
• wherein the data signal includes a first data signal and a second data signal,
• wherein the first data signal and the second data signal each include a voltage rising period, a voltage maintain9ng period, and a voltage falling period,
• wherein when the first data signal and the second data signal are supplied consecutively, the first data signal falls to a third voltage higher than the lowest voltage supplied during the voltage rising period of the first data signal during the voltage falling period of the first data signal, and the second data signal gradually rises from the third voltage to a fourth voltage using an inductor during the voltage rising period of the second data signal.
