Patent ID: 7208876

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate provided opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween; address electrodes formed on the second substrate; barrier ribs mounted between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier ribs defining a plurality of discharge cells; red phosphor layers, green phosphor layers, and blue phosphor layers formed within each of respective red discharge cells, green discharge cells and blue discharge cells; and discharge sustain electrodes formed on the first substrate, wherein non-discharge cells are formed between discharge cells in communication with each other to form a single non-discharge cell between adjacent rows of discharge cells, rows of discharge cells being adjacent discharge cells formed along the direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the address electrodes, and wherein the discharge cells have lengths that are different according to the respective red color, green color, and blue color of the phosphor layers formed therein such that the discharge cells have different volumes.
