Abstract:
1. A plasma display panel comprising: a front substrate and a rear substrate arranged to face each other, the front and rear substrates having discharge cells arranged therebetween; a plurality of strip-shaped address electrodes arranged on the rear substrate; a first dielectric layer arranged on the rear substrate, the first dielectric layer having the plurality of strip-shaped address electrodes buried therein; a plurality of strip-shaped sustaining electrodes arranged in pairs on the rear substrate to cross the plurality of strip-shaped address electrodes at right angles; a second dielectric layer arranged on the rear substrate, the second dielectric layer having the plurality of strip-shaped sustaining electrodes buried therein; a protective layer arranged on a bottom surface of the second dielectric layer; and a plurality of barrier ribs arranged between the front and rear substrates, the plurality of barrier ribs defining the discharge cells, and having lateral sides coated with a fluorescent layer; wherein each of the plurality of strip-shaped address electrodes includes thick portions arranged below the discharge cells and thin portions arranged between adjacent thick portions; and wherein the thick portions of the plurality of strip-shaped address electrodes are thicker than the thin portions of the plurality of strip-shaped address electrodes.
