Plasma display device

A plasma display device comprising:

• a plasma display panel having a plurality of display electrodes, a plurality of scan electrodes, and a plurality of address electrodes arranged so as to cross the display electrodes and the scan electrodes;
• and
• a driver for driving each electrode of the plasma display panel, wherein
• the plasma display panel includes
• a temperature-monitoring electrode parallely arranged with at least either one of the display and scan electrodes or the address electrode for monitoring a temperature of the plasma display panel,
• the plasma display device includes:
• a resistance-value monitoring circuit connected to the temperature-monitoring electrode for monitoring a resistance value of the temperature-monitoring electrode;
• and
• a temperature-converting circuit connected to the resistance-value monitoring circuit for converting the resistance value monitored by the resistance-value monitoring circuit into a temperature, and
• the driver drives the each electrode with applying a driving waveform and/or a driving voltage suitable for the temperature converted by the temperature-converting circuit.
