Abstract:
1. A plasma display panel comprising a pair of substrates facing each other across a discharge space, and a plurality of row electrode pairs and a plurality of column electrodes placed between the pair of substrates, the row electrode pairs extending in a row direction and being arranged in a column direction, the column electrodes extending in the column direction and being arranged in the row direction to form unit light emission areas within the discharge space in conjunction with the row electrode pairs, wherein: portions of a pair of row electrodes constituting each of the row electrode pairs, which are placed corresponding to each of the unit light emission areas, face each other across a discharge gap; each of the portions of the row electrodes corresponding to each of the unit light emission areas that are placed in an internal peripheral portion of a panel surface has an electrode area smaller than an electrode area of each of the portions of the row electrodes corresponding to each of the unit light emission areas that are placed in a central portion of the panel surface; and an end, close to the discharge gap, of the row electrodes in the internal peripheral portion has a width greater than a width of an end, close to the discharge gap, of the row electrodes in the central portion.
