Patent ID: 7098595

Claim:
A plasma display panel (PDP), comprising: a front substrate and a rear substrate with a discharge space therebetween; a plurality of address electrodes on an upper surface of the rear substrate; a first dielectric layer covering the plurality of address electrodes; partitions provided on a upper surface of the first dielectric layer; a plurality of second dielectric layers protruding from a lower surface of the front substrate and extending in a direction perpendicular to the address electrodes; first sustaining electrodes and second sustaining electrodes formed on sides of the plurality of second dielectric layers and slanted to face each other; a third dielectric layer provided on a lower surface of the plurality of second dielectric layers to cover the first sustaining electrodes and the second sustaining electrodes; and a protective layer provided on a lower surface of the third dielectric layer, wherein the plurality of second dielectric layers have a trench between the first sustaining electrodes and the second sustaining electrodes, the trench being arranged between adjacent discharge cells.
