Abstract:
A plasma display panel including a pair of substrates opposite each other with an interposed discharge space, a plurality of row electrode pairs provided on an inner surface of one substrate of the pair of the substrates, arranged in a column direction and each extending in a row direction to form a display line, a dielectric layer covering the row electrode pairs on the inner surface of the one substrate, and a plurality of column electrodes provided on a surface of the other substrate facing the one substrate, arranged in the row direction, and each extending in the column direction to intersect the row electrode pairs and form unit light-emitting areas in the discharge space at the respective intersections, said plasma display panel comprises:a recess provided in a portion of the inner surface of said one substrate facing a non-display area between the adjacent unit light-emitting areas in the column direction, wherein each of row electrodes constituting said row electrode pair comprises an edge portion, and the adjacent edge portions of the respective row electrodes positioned back to back in between the adjacent row electrode pairs respectively extend along both side faces of each of said recesses, formed in the one substrate, in a direction of raising the edge portions in relation to other portions of the respective row electrodes concerned in a thickness direction of the one substrate.
