Abstract:
A plasma display panel (12) comprising a first substrate (3), having, formed thereon, a set of common electrodes (7) grouped in two interleaved sets C1 and C2, extending along a horizontal direction, and, alternately with said common electrodes (7), a set of scan electrodes (8) S1 to Sn extending along the same direction, the space delimited between a common electrode (7) and scan electrode (8) defining a row, and a second substrate (4) parallel to said first substrate, having, formed thereon, a set of address electrodes (5) and a set of barrier ribs (6), both set up substantially perpendicular to said horizontal direction,the space delimited by a pair of adjacent barrier ribs (6) defining a column, the space at the intersection of a row and a column defining a cell, characterized in that an address electrode (5) extends over more than one column, covering at least a part of a first cell in a first column in one row, and at least a part of a second cell in a second column in the row immediately below, no other address electrode (5) extending over the cell immediately below the first cell, no other address electrode (5) extending over the cell immediately above the second cell.
