Abstract

An apparatus and method for driving a plasma display panel wherein an initializing discharge can be weakened to lower a dark room brightness and an initialization time can be shortened to permit a single scanning. In the apparatus, a sensing device senses an electrical signal with an initialization waveform applied from a voltage source to a display panel. A controlling device controls said electrical signal with an initialization waveform applied from the voltage source to the display panel by the sensed electrical signal.
