Abstract:
A partition wall structure for a plasma display panel for defining a discharge space, formed between a front substrate and a back substrate of the plasma display panel including a plurality of row electrode pairs extending in a row direction and arranged on the front substrate in a column direction and a plurality of column electrodes extending in the column direction and arranged on the back substrate in the row direction, in each intersecting position of the row electrode pair and the column electrode to form unit light emitting areas, each having a pair of transverse walls placed in parallel with each other having a space equal to a width of the unit light emitting area in the column direction, and vertical walls placed between said pair of transverse walls in parallel with each other having a space equal to a width of the unit light emitting area in the row direction and integrally coupled to the pair of transverse walls, to define the unit light emitting areas in each line of the plasma display panel, and being formed to have a width of a portion of said transverse wall situated between said adjacent vertical walls in a parallel direction to said vertical wall, larger than a width of a portion of said transverse wall coupled to said vertical wall in the same direction.
