Abstract:
1. A plasma display panel, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate which are opposite to and separated from each other at a predetermined interval and provided with a plurality of discharge cells defined in a space formed between the first substrate and the second substrate; address electrodes which extend along a first direction in the space between the first substrate and the second substrate; first electrodes formed on the first substrate that are arranged on both sides of each discharge cell along a second direction that crosses the first direction in the space between the first substrate and the second substrate and that are insulated from the address electrodes; and second electrodes that pass through each discharge cell and are arranged between and substantially parallel to the first electrodes, wherein the first electrodes and the second electrodes has an expansion portion which extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to a first substrate surface at a portion corresponding to each discharge cell and a narrow portion located at a portion corresponding to a boundary of a pair of discharge cells that are adjacent to each other in the second direction, and wherein the address electrodes have protrusions that protrude toward the inside of each discharge cell between the first electrodes and the second electrodes.
