Patent ID: 7310073

Claim:
A plasma display panel of a long column structure having a front substrate and a rear substrate that are opposite to each other, the plasma display panel including scan electrodes and sustain electrodes that are spaced apart from each other in parallel on the opposite surface of the front substrate and have transparent electrodes and metal electrodes, respectively, a dielectric layer that covers the scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes, a protection film coated on the dielectric layer, address electrodes formed on the opposite surface of the rear substrate, a dielectric layer that covers the address electrodes, barrier ribs formed on the dielectric layer, discharge cells demarcated by the barrier ribs, and a phosphor layer coated on the inside of the discharge cells, a distance between the scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes being greater than that between the front substrate and the rear substrate, wherein the transparent electrodes of the scan electrodes or the sustain electrodes include projections projected toward the center of the discharge cells every discharge cell.
