Patent ID: 8193709

Claim:
A plasma display panel (PDP), comprising: a pair of substrates facing each other; barrier ribs defining discharge cells between the pair of substrates; sustain electrodes between the pair of substrates, the sustain electrodes including second bus electrodes along a first direction, the second bus electrodes being on the barrier ribs, the sustain electrodes including second transparent electrodes; scan electrodes between the pair of substrates, the scan electrodes including first bus electrodes along the first direction, the first bus electrodes being positioned between adjacent second bus electrodes, the scan electrodes including first transparent electrodes; address electrodes between the pair of substrates, the address, scan, and sustain electrodes being configured to generate discharge in the discharge cells; and phosphors in the discharge cells, the phosphors being configured to emit light by the discharge; wherein at least the first bus electrodes and/or the second bus electrodes include at least one linear portion extending across an address electrode and at least one bent portion extending across a barrier rib, the at least one bent portion being connected to the at least one linear portion, and at least the first transparent electrodes and/or second transparent electrodes include at least one transparent linear portion extending across the address electrode and at least one transparent bent portion extending across the barrier rib, the at least one transparent bent portion being connected to the at least one transparent linear portion.
