Patent ID: 7166960

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate, the first substrate and the second substrate being provided with a predetermined gap therebetween; a plurality of address electrodes formed on the first substrate and extending along a first direction; barrier ribs formed between the first substrate and the second substrate defining a plurality of discharge spaces; a plurality of sustain electrodes formed between the first substrate and the second substrate while extending along a second direction; and a dielectric layer formed to cover the sustain electrodes; wherein the address electrodes include: a first electrode portion provided within the discharge space; and a second electrode portion provided outside the discharge space, wherein if a width of the first electrode portion is AW 1 , if a width of the second electrode portion is AW 2 , and if a distance between baffler ribs along the second direction is D, AW 1 is larger than AW 2 , and AW 1 is 40–75% of D.
