Patent ID: 7071623

Claim:
A plasma display device comprising: a front substrate and a back substrate positioned so as to define a discharge space therebetween; ribs between said front and back substrates so as to divide the discharge space; two display electrodes, each of said two display electrodes including a discharge electrode on said front substrate and a bus electrode for supplying power to said discharge electrode, with each said discharge electrode projecting from a corresponding said bus electrode so as to define at a displaying line a discharge gap between said discharge electrodes, whereby a discharge cell is defined between said two display electrodes and two corresponding adjacent ones of said ribs; a dielectric layer covering said two display electrodes; and two recesses in a portion of a surface of said dielectric layer corresponding to said discharge cell, with one of said discharge electrodes being at a bottom region of one of said two recesses and the other of said discharge electrodes being at a bottom region of the other of said two recesses.
