Patent ID: 7999472

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a substrate; a plurality of address electrodes positioned on the substrate, an entire portion of one of the address electrodes being disposed directly over a surface of the substrate, wherein a height of the address electrode at a center of a cross section of the address electrode is greater than a height of the address electrode at an outer edge of the cross section of the address electrode; and a dielectric layer covering the plurality of the address electrodes, wherein an angle between a tangent to a surface of the cross section of the address electrode and a tangent to the surface of the substrate at a first portion of the cross section of the address electrode is a first angle, an angle between a tangent to the surface of the cross section of the address electrode and a tangent to the surface of the substrate at a second portion of the cross section of the address electrode is a second angle, and an angle between a tangent to the surface of the cross section of the address electrode and a tangent to the surface of the substrate at a third portion of the cross section of the address electrode is a third angle, wherein the second portion is located between the center of the cross section of the address electrode and the third portion, the third portion is located between the first portion and the second portion, and the first angle is smaller than the third angle and wherein the first and third angles are between 0 and 90 degrees, and wherein a shape of the cross section of the address electrode is a Gaussian shape.
