Patent ID: 7071622

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a plurality of first sustain electrodes arranged on a first substrate; and a plurality of second sustain electrodes spaced apart from the first sustain electrodes, the plurality of first and second electrodes providing a plurality of gaps, wherein the first and the second sustain electrodes form a plurality of electrode pairs, wherein a total surface area of the plurality of gaps is less than or equal to about 25% of a total surface area of the first sustain electrodes and the second sustain electrodes, and wherein each of the first sustain electrodes comprises a first transparent electrode having a first prescribed width defined by a first end and a second end and a first bus electrode of a narrower width formed on the first transparent electrode near the second end of the first transparent electrode, each of the second sustain electrodes comprises a second transparent electrode having a second prescribed width defined by a first end and a second end and a second bus electrode of a narrower width formed on the second transparent electrode near the second end of the second transparent electrode, and each gap is provided by a span of distance between the first end of the first transparent electrode and the first end of the second transparent electrode.
