Abstract:
A plasma display is provided. The plasma display includes a plasma display panel (PDP) having first electrodes, second electrodes, and third electrodes; a power supply for supplying a first voltage, a second voltage and a third voltage; a driving circuit for driving at least one of the first electrodes; and a controller for controlling the driving of the first driving circuit. The first driving circuit includes: a first photo coupler and a second photo coupler for generating signals corresponding to logic signals from the controller; a scan integrated circuit (IC) configured to selectively apply the third voltage that is lower than either the first voltage or the second voltage; a buffer for delivering the first signal and the second signal to the scan IC; and a reset circuit for driving the buffer when the first voltage is higher than a fourth voltage.
Abstract:
A plasma display and a driving method thereof are disclosed. The plasma display includes a power supply that supplies a plurality of voltages to a driver driving first electrodes through a plurality of fuses. The power supply supplies the plurality of fuses with a fuse driving voltage used to control the plurality of fuses. When an error occurs in the driver connected to a first fuse, the fuse driving voltage is not supplied to the plurality of fuses. Then, the entire operation of the driver is stopped. Therefore, elements of the driver, in which errors do not occur, can be prevented from being further damaged.
