Patent ID: 7800306

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a pair of substrates facing each other with a space formed therebetween; a plurality of barrier ribs that partition the space formed between the pair of substrates into a plurality of discharge cells; a pair of electrodes comprising a scan electrode and a sustain electrode provided in each of the plurality of discharge cells, wherein the pair of substrates comprises a first region provided at a center portion of the space formed between the pair of substrates, and a second region provided at an inner corner defined by a sealing material provided near a peripheral portion of the space formed between the pair of substrates, wherein a first gap formed between the scan electrode and the sustain electrode of a corresponding discharge cell in the first region is greater than a second gap formed between the scan electrode and the sustain electrode of a corresponding discharge cell in the second region, wherein the second gap enhances a discharge between the scan electrode and the sustain electrode in the second region; and at least one of a gas inlet or a gas outlet provided in the second region.
