Patent ID: 7358671

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposing one another with a gap therebetween; address electrodes on a surface of the first substrate opposing the second substrate; barrier ribs in the gap between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier ribs defining discharge cells; a phosphor layer in each of the discharge cells; and non-transparent discharge sustain electrodes on a surface of the second substrate opposing the first substrate, wherein the non-transparent discharge sustain electrodes include line sections, a pair of line sections corresponding to each discharge cell and having extensions extending from the line sections into each of the discharge cells, the extensions defining openings, such that a pair of the extensions, one from each of the pair of line sections, oppose one another within each of the discharge cells, wherein distal ends of the extensions are curved, and wherein indentations are in substantially central portions of the distal ends of the extensions such that discharge gaps of differing sizes are between the distal ends of each pair of the extensions, the differing sizes being largest at the indentations.
