Abstract:
1. A plasma display panel comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate defining a discharge space therebetween; a plurality of display electrodes arranged on an inner surface of the first substrate and extending in a first direction, each of the display electrodes comprising a metal film; a first dielectric layer of a constant thickness and made of a silicon compound, deposited on said first substrate and covering display electrodes, the first dielectric layer having a surface with undulations therein, comprising projections corresponding to the underlying metal films as the display electrodes and depressions between the projections; a partition formed on a second dielectric layer covering a plurality of address electrodes arranged on an inner surface of the second substrate, the partition having a grid shape in a plan view that divides the discharge space into a plurality of discharge cells spaced along the first direction; and plural ventilation gaps, each corresponding to a space between a depression and an opposed surface of the partition, aligned ventilation gaps, spaced in the first direction, forming a ventilation path along the first direction, wherein said thickness of the first dielectric layer is equal to or thinner than a thickness of the metal films of the display electrodes.
