Patent ID: 7477018

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a plurality of scan electrodes arranged in a first direction; and a plurality of sustain electrodes arranged in the first direction, the scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes forming a plurality of electrode pairs, and a scan electrode of a pair being spaced apart from a sustain electrode of the pair by a prescribed gap of, wherein the plurality of electrode pairs being distributed between a plurality of regions, each region having at least three electrode pairs, and the prescribed gap of at least one region is different from the prescribed gap of at least one other region by a preset value, and the plurality of regions are provided in a display area of the plasma display panel, wherein the at least three electrode pairs include first, second and third pairs, and (a) a prescribed distance being formed between a scan electrode of the first pair and a scan electrode of a second pair or between a sustain electrode of the first pair and a sustain electrode of the second pair or between cells in the second direction, and (b) the prescribed distance being formed between the scan electrode of the second pair and a scan electrode of a third pair or between the sustain electrode of the second pair and a sustain electrode of the third pair or between cells in the second direction, wherein the prescribed distance of at least one region is different from the prescribed distance of at least one other region by a prescribed value.
