Patent ID: 8174192

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a front panel having a front substrate having a plurality of arrays of display electrodes each including a first electrode and a second electrode opposed to each other with a discharge gap being defined between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a rear panel having a rear substrate opposed to the front substrate, partition walls for partitioning a discharge space between the rear panel and the front panel, data electrodes each formed between the partition walls such that the data electrodes intersect with the display electrodes, and phosphor layers each formed between the partition walls, wherein the rear panel forms the partition walls so as to provide the discharge space, and is divided into a plurality of regions along a direction parallel to the data electrodes, wherein the plurality of regions has at least a first exposure area and a second exposure area, wherein each of the phosphor layers is one of a blue phosphor layer which emits blue light, a red phosphor layer which emits red light, and a green phosphor layer which emits green light, wherein each of the plurality of regions has: a plurality of discharge cells on which a blue phosphor layer is disposed; a plurality of discharge cells on which a red phosphor layer is disposed; and a plurality of discharge cells on which a green phosphor layer is disposed, wherein at one of the partition walls a blue phosphor layer is disposed at a boundary portion, the boundary portion being formed substantially at a center of the rear panel, and the one of the partition walls divides the rear panel into the regions, and wherein the phosphor layers are formed in the form of stripes.
