Abstract:
1. A plasma display panel, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposing one another with a gap therebetween; address electrodes on the second substrate; barrier ribs between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier ribs defining a plurality of discharge cells; red phosphor layers, green phosphor layers, and blue phosphor layers in red discharge cells, green discharge cells and blue discharge cells, respectively, of the plurality of discharge cells; and discharge sustain electrodes on the first substrate, wherein the barrier ribs comprise first barrier rib members substantially parallel to a direction of the address electrodes, and second barrier rib members obliquely connected to the first barrier rib members and intersecting over the address electrodes to provide intersections, wherein the intersections have different widths along the direction of the address electrodes according to discharge cell color such that the red discharge cells, the green discharge cells, and the blue discharge cells have different volumes, and wherein the second barrier rib members comprise non-discharge cells fully encompassed by the second barrier rib members to thereby be positioned between discharge cells adjacent in the direction of the address electrodes from among the plurality of discharge cells.
