Abstract:
An alternating current plane discharge type plasma display panel comprising:a front substrate having a plurality of pairs of scan electrodes and common electrodes arranged in a horizontal direction, said scan electrodes and said common electrodes comprising horizontally extending line electrodes and plane electrodes provided for corresponding unit light emitting pixels, said plane electrodes of said scan electrode and said common electrode in each unit light emitting pixel being separated from each other by a discharging gap, and each of said plane electrodes having a first section located close to said discharging gap and a second section located remotely from said discharging gap; a back substrate disposed to face said plane electrodes and having a plurality of vertically extending data electrodes, said first section having a part overlapping said data electrode as viewed from above and parts extending horizontally from a part overlapping said data electrode, and said second section having lateral parts extending vertically along lateral edges of said corresponding data electrode as viewed from above; and partition walls arranged between said front substrate and said back substrate to form discharge spaces, said partition walls defining unit light emitting pixels of red, green and blue, discharge gas being introduced in said discharge spaces to generate ultraviolet rays, wherein edges of said first section are curved or intersect each other with an obtuse angle at corners thereof.
