Patent ID: 7242143

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a front substrate and a rear substrate opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween; a plurality of display electrodes formed on the front substrate; a dielectric layer formed on the front substrate covering the display electrodes; a plurality of barrier ribs formed on the rear substrate and comprising a plurality of first barrier rib members formed in a direction orthogonal to the display electrodes, and a plurality of second barrier rib members formed in a direction parallel to the display electrodes, the first barrier rib members intersecting the second barrier rib members, the plurality of barrier ribs forming an array of discharge cells, each discharge cell being bounded by a pair of first barrier rib members and a pair of second barrier rib members; a phosphor layer being formed in respective discharge cells; and address electrodes comprising conductive wires and coated with a dielectric material, the address electrodes being mounted on the second barrier rib members, the address electrodes being orthogonal to the display electrodes, wherein grooves are formed in distal ends of the second barrier rib members into which the address electrodes are inserted.
