Abstract:
A surface discharge type plasma display panel comprising:a first glass substrate having a plurality of scanning electrode pairs parallel with each other, extending in a horizontal direction, and black stripes parallel with said plurality of scanning electrode pairs formed on one main surface thereof and having a dielectric layer covering said plurality of scanning electrode pairs and said black stripes; and a second glass substrate including a plurality of address electrodes formed in parallel with each other in a direction orthogonal to said plurality of scanning electrode pairs and having a plurality of barrier ribs spaced along said horizontal direction and parallel with said plurality of address electrodes, said plurality of barrier ribs abutting on said dielectric layer to form discharge spaces each corresponding to one of said plurality of address electrodes, wherein each of said black stripes formed on said first glass substrate has a plurality of portions that each cover a two-dimensional region having a dimension along said horizontal direction that is substantially equal to the spacing between adjacent barrier ribs.
