Abstract:
1. A plasma display panel comprising: a lower substrate and an upper substrate configured to define a discharge space between an upper surface of the lower substrate and a lower surface of the upper substrate; a plurality of barrier ribs between the lower substrate and the upper substrate, partitioning the discharge space to form a plurality of discharge cells; a plurality of address electrodes formed in parallel on the upper surface of the lower substrate; a plurality of discharge electrodes formed at an angle to the address electrodes on the lower surface of the upper substrate; and, a plurality of cylindrical lenses, at least one of the plurality of the cylindrical lenses corresponding to at least one of the discharge cells, formed on a lower surface of the upper substrate, for focusing visible light generated by discharge of the at least one of the discharge cells substantially onto an upper surface of the upper substrate, whereby the visible light is emitted out of the plasma display panel.
