Patent ID: 7602125

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate positioned to face the first substrate; a plurality of barrier ribs partitioning a discharge space between the first and second substrates to define a plurality of discharge cells; address electrodes extending in parallel with each other and in a predetermined direction, and disposed on the second substrate; a first dielectric layer formed so as to cover the address electrodes; first and second display electrodes disposed on the first dielectric layer and extending in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction of the address electrodes, the first and second display electrodes being separated from the address electrodes, the first and second display electrodes being provided in correspondence with the plurality of discharge cells; a second dielectric layer formed so as to enclose the first and second display electrodes; and phosphor layers coated on the plurality of discharge cells; wherein a thickness of the second dielectric layer formed on top surfaces of the first and second display electrodes facing the first substrate is larger than a thickness of the second dielectric layer formed on facing side surfaces of the first and second display electrodes; and wherein a height of the first and second display electrodes is larger than a width thereof when viewed in a cross-section perpendicular to a direction in which the first and second electrodes extend, whereby the first and second display electrodes face each other within a large area.
