The present invention relates to a plasma display apparatus. The plasma display apparatus according to the present invention comprises a plasma display panel comprising a scan electrode, a set-up driver that applies a rising pulse to the scan electrode during a reset period, a set-down driver that applies a first ramp-down pulse before the rising pulse is applied to the scan electrode and applies a second ramp-down pulse after the rising pulse is applied to the scan electrode, and a scan pulse driver that applies a scan pulse having an amount, which is substantially the same as that of the rising pulse, to the scan electrode during an address period subsequent to the reset period.
