Abstract:
A plasma display panel including:a front substrate; a back substrate placed opposite to the front substrate to define a discharge space between the front and back substrates; a plurality of row electrode pairs extending in a row direction and arranged in a column direction on a back surface of the front substrate to respectively form display lines; and a plurality of column electrodes arranged in the row direction on a surface, facing toward the front substrate, of the back substrate, and 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 comprising: a leading member provided in each paired row electrodes of said row electrode pairs and facing each other with a discharge gap there-between in each unit light emitting area; and an enlargement member provided in said column electrode at a position opposite to at least one of said leading members of the paired row electrodes in each unit light emitting area, and having a width in the row direction larger than a width of portion of said column electrode opposite to the row electrode except for the leading member opposite to the enlargement member.
