Abstract:
A plasma display panel comprising:a front substrate; a rear substrate opposing the front substrate across a predetermined discharge space; a plurality of display electrodes formed on the front substrate, covered with a dielectric layer, and extending in a first direction; a plurality of address electrodes formed on the rear substrate and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction; a plurality of discharge cells provided at the intersections between the display electrodes and the address electrodes; a plurality of barrier ribs superposed on the rear substrate and formed in a predetermined pattern for separating the matrix of the discharge cells in at least one of the row direction and the column direction of the matrix, the pattern defining a plurality of non-discharge cavities in the portions of the barrier ribs corresponding to the non-discharge areas between adjacent rows or columns of the discharge cells; a plurality of phosphor layers provided in the discharge cells defined by the pattern of the barrier ribs; and a plurality of black material layers formed in the non-discharge cavities.
