Plasma display apparatus

A plasma display apparatus is disclosed. The plasma display apparatus includes a plasma display panel and a driver. The plasma display apparatus includes a scan electrode, a sustain electrode, an address electrode, a lower dielectric layer on the address electrode, and a phosphor layer on the lower dielectric layer. The phosphor layer includes a phosphor material and an additive material. The driver does not supply a sustain signal to at least one of the scan electrode and the sustain electrode during a sustain period of a first subfield of a plurality of subfields of a frame. A sustain period of at least one subfield of the plurality of subfields of the frame is omitted.
