Abstract:
A plasma display panel (PDP), comprising:a scan/sustain electrode formed side by side on an upper substrate so as to be positioned respectively toward both ends of a discharge cell; a common sustain electrode; a first trigger electrode formed side by side to be outwardly adjacent to the scan/sustain electrode; and a second trigger electrode formed side by side to be outwardly adjacent to the common sustain electrode, wherein the scan/sustain electrode and the common sustain electrode are formed between the first and second trigger electrodes, and a gap between the first trigger electrode and the scan/sustain electrode and a gap between the second trigger electrode and the common sustain electrode are smaller than a gap between the common sustain electrode and the scan/sustain electrode, and wherein a sustain discharge is generated between the scan/sustain electrode and the common sustain electrode, and a trigger discharge is generated between the first trigger electrode and the scan/sustain electrode and between the second trigger electrode and the common sustain electrode, respectively.
