Abstract:
1. A plasma display panel, comprising: a front substrate; a rear substrate arranged opposite to said front substrate; front barrier ribs arranged between said front substrate and said rear substrate and formed of a dielectric material, said front barrier ribs partitioning discharge cells together with said front and rear substrates; front and rear discharge electrodes arranged within said front barrier ribs to surround the discharge cells, and extended in parallel along discharge cells of one row; address electrodes extended along discharge cells of another row intersecting with a row of the discharge cells where the front and rear discharge electrodes are arranged; phosphor layers arranged within the discharge cells; and a discharge gas injected in the discharge cells, wherein said address electrode comprises discharge portions formed in a rectangular loop shape disposed at the discharge cells, and connecting portions connecting the discharge portions, wherein the discharge portion of the address electrode comprises vertical portions formed in the extended direction of the address electrode and horizontal portions connecting the vertical portions, and a width of the vertical portion is smaller than a width of said horizontal portion to reduce an electrode area cross-talk with the vertical portion of an adjacent address electrode and reducing floating capacitance.
