Abstract:
A substrate, said substrate being used for a surface discharge AC type plasma display panel wherein a discharge cell is formed by each intersecting point of each lane and each scanning line, said each lane being partitioned by barrier ribs adjacent to each other within a plurality of barrier ribs provided to extend in a first direction and being associated with drive of an address electrode corresponding to said barrier ribs adjacent to each other within a plurality of address electrodes provided to extend in said first direction, and said each scanning line being defined by an arbitrary sustain discharge electrode pair within a plurality of sustain discharge electrode pairs provided to extend in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction, and a continuous display region defines said discharge cell aligned in matrix,said substrate comprising: a substrate body; said plurality of sustain discharge electrode pairs formed on said substrate body; a dielectric layer formed on said substrate body and covering said plurality of sustain discharge electrode pairs; and a cathode film formed on said dielectric layer, wherein each of said plurality of sustain discharge electrode pairs comprises first and second sustain discharge electrodes opposed to each other at a predetermined spaced interval, in first and second non-display regions with respect to said second direction adjacent to said display region, one end of said first sustain discharge electrode is not present within said first non-display region and is present within said display region on the side of a boundary between said display region and said first non-display region, the other end of said first sustain discharge electrode is present within said second non-display region, one end of said second sustain discharge electrode is not present within said second non-display region and is present within said display region on the side of a boundary between said second non-display region and said display region, and the other end of said second sustain discharge electrode is present within said first non-display region.
