A driving apparatus of plasma panel and a method for displaying pictures on plasma display panel

The present invention relates to an image processing method of the drive system and the plasma display panel of the plasma display panel to control the address power consumption. Converting the input video signal into subfield data, and determines whether the address is high power consumption by the data conversion sub-field data. At this time, when the address power consumption is high, the data is the scanning direction in an interlaced manner. Further, to determine and order in which the scanning operation is performed as determined by the same or similar line if the line having the same or similar subfield data in the column direction by using the converted subfield data exists. This, reducing the number of switching of the address electrode may further reduce address power consumption.
