Abstract:
An AC plasma display panel, comprising:a first substrate; a first electrode (Ai) disposed on the first substrate along a first direction; a second substrate disposed parallel to the first substrate, such that a discharge space is formed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first strip-shaped rib (R1j) and a second strip-shaped rib (R2k) parallel to each other along the first direction and alternatively disposed in the discharge space, wherein the first strip-shaped rib (R1j) is provided with a second electrode (Bj), the second strip-shaped rib (R2k) does not have a conductive portion, and the first electrode (Ai) is located between the first strip-shaped rib (R1j) and the second strip-shaped rib (R2k) and is not located on the same plane as the second electrode (Bj); and a third electrode (Dm) disposed on the second substrate along a second direction approximately perpendicular to the first direction, wherein when the AC plasma display panel undergoes sustaining discharge, the sustaining discharge is achieved by biasing the second electrode (Bj) and two adjacent first electrodes (Ai), and plasma is generated with a predetermined inclined angle relative to the first substrate.
