Abstract:
A plasma display panel comprising:a plurality of main electrodes laid out on an inside surface of one of a pair of substrates to have a stripe-shaped pattern with a distance defined between adjacent ones of the main electrodes, the distance corresponding to a display line for use as a discharge cell region; a plurality of sets of selection electrodes laid out on an inside surface of the other of the pair of substrates to have a stripe-like pattern in a direction transverse to the main electrodes, each set of the selection electrodes including a first electrode forming a first discharge cell at a cross point with a display line and a second electrode forming a second discharge cell at a cross point with the display line; and a plurality of ribs for partitioning a discharge space formed between the pair of substrates, each of the ribs being disposed extending from a cross point between an odd-numbered display line and the second selection electrode to a cross point between an even-numbered display line and the first selection electrode.
