Patent ID: 8264146

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a front panel comprising a substrate, an electrode, a dielectric layer and a protective layer, wherein the electrode, the dielectric layer and the protective layer are formed on the substrate of the front panel; and, a rear panel comprising a substrate, an electrode, a dielectric layer and a barrier rib and a phosphor layer, wherein the electrode, the dielectric layer and the barrier rib and the phosphor layer are formed on a substrate of the rear panel; wherein the front panel and the rear panel are oppositely disposed to each other; wherein the electrode of the front panel is composed of a transparent electrode and a bus electrode; wherein the bus electrode comprises a melted-solidified portion obtained by a melting and subsequent solidifying of electrically-conductive particles; wherein the melted-solidified portion extends from the surface of the bus electrode to a limited depth thereof; and wherein the thickness of the melted-solidified portion is in the range of 0.2 t to 0.7 t where “t” denotes a thickness of the bus electrode.
