Abstract:
A plasma display panel which comprises:first and second substrates disposed in face-to-face relationship with a discharge space intervening therebetween:a plurality of data electrodes formed on a the second substrate;a plurality of sets of at least first and second scanning electrodes formed on the first substrate so as to extend perpendicular to the data electrodes;a plurality of sets of at least first and second sustaining electrodes formed on the first substrate so as to extend perpendicular to the data electrodes and in an alternating fashion with the sets of the scanning electrodes; anda plurality of unitary pixels each defined at an intersection between a data electrode and a group of one set of the scanning electrodes, the first sustaining electrode of one set of sustaining electrodes which is positioned on one side of and adjacent said one set of the scanning electrodes and the second sustaining electrode of the next succeeding set of sustaining electrodes which is positioned on the other side of and adjacent said one set of the scanning electrodes, each sustaining electrode belonging to each set of sustaining electrodes being connected to each other at opposite ends thereof;each set of the scanning electrodes included within the unitary pixel being adapted to receive a scanning pulse substantially simultaneously.
