Patent ID: 7453209

Claim:
A plasma display panel (PDP) comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposite to each other with a distance therebetween; a plurality of discharge cells partitioned between the first substrate and the second substrate; first electrodes surrounding discharge cells of the plurality of discharge cells and proximate to one of the first substrate and the second substrate and between the first substrate and the second substrate, the first electrodes being connected in a first direction; second electrodes spaced apart from the first electrodes along a direction perpendicular to planes of the first substrate and the second substrate and connected in the first direction, wherein the second electrodes surround discharge cells of the plurality of discharge cells and are proximate to the other of the first substrate and the second substrate; and a plurality of address electrodes spaced apart from the first electrodes and the second electrodes between the first electrodes and the second electrodes along the direction perpendicular to the planes of the first substrate and the second substrate, the plurality of address electrodes connected in a second direction crossing the first direction, wherein the address electrodes surround discharge cells of the plurality of discharge cells, wherein the plurality of address electrodes comprises: first address electrodes proximate to the first electrodes; and second address electrodes spaced apart from the first address electrodes and proximate to the second electrodes.
