Abstract:
An AC type surface discharge color plasma display panel comprising: a first substrate (1) having a first substrate surface; a pair of surface discharge electrode sets (2H) each of which comprises a transparent electrode (2) formed on said first substrate surface and a bus electrode (3) formed on a part of said transparent electrode, said transparent electrodes being substantially parallel to each other, said bus electrodes being substantially parallel to each other and to said transparent electrodes; first, second, and third color filter layers (4R, 4G, and 4B) perpendicularly intersecting with said surface discharge electrode sets and transparent to red light, green light, and blue light, respectively; a transparent dielectric layer (5) covering said surface discharge electrode sets and said color filter layers; a second substrate (10) having a second substrate surface opposite to said first substrate surface; first, second, and third data electrodes (8) formed on said second substrate surface in correspondence to said first, said second, and said third color filter layers; first, second, and third phosphor layers (9R, 9G, and 9B) formed on said first, said second, and said third data electrodes, respectively; and barrier ribs (7) defining first, second, and third discharge spaces (11) between said first, said second, and said third phosphor layers and said first, said second, and said third color filter layers; said first, said second, and said third phosphor layers being excited by ultraviolet rays produced by gas discharge in said first, said second, and said third discharge spaces to emit red light, green light, and blue light, respectively, wherein:each of said first, said second, and said third color filter layers and each of said bus electrodes are located offset from each other on said first substrate surface so as not to overlap each other and so as not to be brought into contact with each other.
