Patent ID: 7649318

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a first and a second substrate facing each other; a plurality of address electrodes arranged on the first substrate and extending parallel to each other in a first direction; a plurality of barrier ribs having a grid shape and comprising first and second barrier rib elements arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate to partition and define a plurality of discharge cells, the first barrier rib elements extending in the first direction and the second barrier rib elements extending in a second direction that intersects with the first direction; phosphor layers arranged in the discharge cells; a plurality of first electrodes arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate and adjacent to the second barrier rib elements and extending in the second direction, the first electrodes having a striped shape; and a plurality of second electrodes arranged between adjacent first electrodes and passing through internal spaces of the discharge cells in the second direction, each of the second electrodes being arranged between a pair of consecutively arranged second barrier ribs, the second electrodes having a striped shape and produce a sustain discharge together with the first electrodes.
