Abstract:
An AC plane discharge type plasma display panel comprising:a front substrate provided with at least a pair of row electrodes that extend in the row direction; and a back substrate provided with at least a plurality of data electrodes that extend in the column direction, said substrates being arranged to face each other forming a discharge space therebetween into which a gas for generating ultraviolet light is introduced and sandwiching partition walls that separate unit illuminating pixels each of which has a fluorescent material layer that emits a visible light of a desired color, and said row electrodes consisting of bus electrodes that extend in said row direction and plane electrodes electrically connected to said bus electrodes, said plane electrodes consisting of discharge sections each discharge section being comprised of at least one thin, elongated portion extending in said column direction and at least two thin, elongated portions extending in said row direction, said portions extending in the row direction being spatially separated from each other and electrically connected to each other, wherein each of said plane electrodes is electrically connected to other plane electrodes that are connected to the same bus electrode via the bus electrode only.
