Abstract:
A plasma display panel, comprising:first and second substrates placed opposed to each other; a plurality of scan electrodes and common electrodes provided on the surface side of said first substrate facing said second substrate and extending in a first direction; and a plurality of data electrodes provided on the surface side of said second substrate facing said first substrate and extending in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction, a display cell being provided each at the crossing point of said scan electrode and common electrode and said data electrode, driving voltage increased with time being applied to said scan electrode in a priming period, said scan electrode and said common electrode comprising: a transparent electrode; and a bus electrode formed on the transparent electrode more on the side of a discharge gap than the center thereof, extending in said first direction and shielding light emitted in said display cell by said applied driving voltage.
