Patent ID: 7946898

Claim:
A method for producing a plasma display panel comprising a front panel wherein an electrode, a dielectric layer and a protective layer are formed on a substrate of the front panel, a formation of the dielectric layer comprising: (i) locally supplying a low-melting point frit material onto a predetermined region of the substrate having the electrode thereon to locally form a low-melting point frit material layer; (ii) heating the low-melting point frit material layer to form a local glass layer therefrom; (iii) supplying a dielectric material over the substrate, covering the electrode and the local glass layer therewith to form a dielectric material layer; and (iv) heating the dielectric material layer to form a dielectric layer therefrom, wherein a softening temperature of the local glass layer is lower than or equal to a softening temperature of a sealing material to be used for a panel sealing by which the front panel is sealed with a rear panel.
