Detection device, operating method of the same, and driving method of plasma display panel

PURPOSE: A detecting apparatus for detecting the touch location, an operation method thereof, and a driving method of a plasma display panel using thereof are provided to easily embody the synchronization between the detecting apparatus and a plasma display device. CONSTITUTION: A detecting apparatus for detecting the touch location comprises the following: a sensor(110) receiving emitted far infrared rays, and generating plural detecting signals corresponding to the far infrared rays; a synchronization unit(141) determines the synchronization timing by the plural detecting signals; and a coordinate detection unit(142) detecting the location of the detecting apparatus by the time difference among the synchronization timing.
