Abstract:
1. A plasma display panel comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate substantially parallel to each other with a distance therebetween; a barrier rib layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; discharge cells between the first substrate, the second substrate, and within the barrier rib layer; a phosphor layer within each of the discharge cells; first electrodes between the first substrate and the second substrate and coupled together at a plurality of first electrode single junctions between the first electrodes along a first direction, each of the first electrodes circumscribing one of the discharge cells, each of the first electrode single junctions having an outer portion that converges toward its center; second electrodes between the first substrate and the second substrate and apart from the first electrodes along a direction substantially perpendicular to the first substrate and the second substrate and coupled together at a plurality of second electrode single junctions between the second electrodes along the first direction, each of the second electrodes circumscribing one of the discharge cells, each of the second electrode single junctions having an outer portion that converges toward its center; and address electrodes apart from the second electrodes along a direction substantially perpendicular to the first substrate and the second substrate and extending in a direction crossing the first direction, wherein each of the address electrodes includes a protruding portion, the protruding portion having an outer contour within an inner contour of the second electrodes.
