Patent ID: 7518311

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; a barrier rib between the first and second substrates and forming discharge cells; an address electrode extending in a first direction on the first substrate corresponding to the discharge cells; a phosphor layer in each discharge cell; a display electrode extending in a second direction crossing the address electrode on the second substrate; and a first dielectric layer covering the address electrode, wherein the first dielectric layer is continuous in the first direction of the address electrode, up to at least one of edges of the first substrate; the first substrate comprises a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area; the first dielectric layer is on the first substrate and covers the non-display area positioned near one edge of the first substrate up to an opposite edge of the first substrate; the first dielectric layer has a first thickness in a portion of the first dielectric layer on the non-display area; which is positioned near the one edge of the first substrate and has a second thickness, which is different from the first thickness, in a remaining portion of the first dielectric layer; and the second thickness is greater than the first thickness.
