Patent ID: 7766715

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a plasma display panel, the method comprising: firing and solidifying a front panel structure member precursor so as to manufacture a front panel structure member after putting a front glass substrate on a first setter, the front glass substrate being provided with the front panel structure member precursor on a surface thereof; firing and solidifying a rear panel structure member precursor so as to manufacture a rear panel structure member after putting a rear glass substrate on a second setter, the rear glass substrate being provided with the rear panel structure member precursor on a surface thereof; sealing and bonding peripheries of the front glass substrate and the rear glass substrate after facing the front panel structure member and the rear panel structure member; and filling discharge gas in a space formed between the front glass substrate and the rear glass substrate, wherein the first setter mainly includes a silicon composite material obtained by coupling silicon carbide and silicon nitride, and a difference between a linear expansion coefficient of the first setter and a linear expansion coefficient of the front glass substrate is at most 5×10 −6 /K.
