Abstract:
A plasma display panel (PDP), comprising:a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other; a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of common electrodes extending parallel to one another and formed on said first substrate; a first insulator film covering said plurality of scanning electrodes and said plurality of common electrodes; a plurality of data electrodes extending parallel to one another, being substantially perpendicular to said plurality of scanning electrodes and said plurality of common electrodes, and formed on said second substrate; a second insulator film covering said plurality of data electrodes; and a plurality of display cells disposed between said first substrate and said second substrate, each of said plurality of display cells, including: a first cell portion where a data electrode opposes a scanning electrode and between said data electrode and said scanning electrode exists a first capacitance; and a second cell portion where another data electrode opposes a common electrode and between said another data electrode and said common electrode exists a second capacitance, wherein said plurality of data electrodes are formed on a planar surface of said second substrate and said first capacitance of said first cell portion is larger than said second capacitance of said second cell portion.
