A plasma display apparatus is disclosed. The plasma display apparatus includes a plasma display panel including a scan electrode and a sustain electrode that are positioned parallel to each other, and an address electrode crossing the scan electrode and the sustain electrode and a driver that supplies a reset signal to the scan electrode and supplies a first signal, whose a direction is the same as a direction of the reset signal, to the sustain electrode in a reset period of at least one of a plurality of subfields of a frame. The first signal overlaps a predetermined period during which the reset signal rises to a maximum voltage and then again rises to a voltage less than the maximum voltage.
