Patent ID: 7554269

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; barrier ribs defining discharge cells between the first substrate and the second substrate; address electrodes formed in parallel along a first direction on the first substrate beneath the discharge cells; and display electrodes formed in a layered structure of a transparent electrode layer and a bus electrode layer on the second substrate, the transparent electrode layer and the bus electrode layer forming a pair of overlapping respective line portions adjacent the discharge cells in a second direction crossing the address electrodes, each of the transparent electrode layer and the bus electrode layer having protrusions, each protrusion extending from its respective line portion towards a center of a corresponding discharge cell, the protrusions of the transparent electrode layer being longer in length than the protrusions of the bus electrode layer and overlapping the protrusions of the bus electrode layer, and a base width of each protrusion of the bus electrode layer being wider than at least a portion of a corresponding overlapping protrusion of the transparent electrode layer.
