Patent ID: 7498744

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a front substrate; a rear substrate disposed to face the front substrate; a dielectric wall disposed between the front and rear substrates to define discharge cells with the front and rear substrates, and having portions with heights that are different with respect to one another; a pair of sustain discharge electrodes including an X electrode and a Y electrode, embedded in the dielectric wall, and disposed to surround a discharge corner of a respective discharge cell; an address electrode embedded in the dielectric wall and disposed in a direction to cross the Y electrode; and a plurality of types of phosphor layers formed in the discharge cells so as to selectively emit light, wherein each of the X, Y and address electrodes is positioned so as not to block the transmission path of the light, and wherein the X electrode is disposed to surround a first discharge corner of a respective discharge cell, and the Y electrode is disposed to surround a second discharge corner of the discharge cell, and wherein the second discharge corner is located on a diagonal with respect to the first discharge corner.
