Abstract:
A plasma display apparatus comprises a plasma display panel comprising a scan electrode and a sustain electrode; an energy recovery unit applying energy to the scan electrode and the sustain electrode through an energy recovery path; a first energy supply controller connecting the energy recovery unit to the scan electrode; and a second energy supply controller connecting the energy recovery unit to the sustain electrode. An inductor and capacitor and switches are common to the scan and sustain electrode circuits, allowing a reduction in component count. Using the inherent diodes of suitable switching devices can further reduce component count.
