Patent ID: 7692385

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other; barrier ribs between the first substrate and the second substrate and forming a plurality of discharge cells; a phosphor layer on each of the discharge cells; address electrodes either on the first substrate or on the second substrate; and display electrodes on the first substrate extending in a direction intersecting with a direction of the address electrodes, the display electrodes including: a first peripheral display electrode and a second peripheral display electrode, the first peripheral display electrode and the second peripheral display electrode being close to respective opposing peripheral portions of a corresponding one of the discharge cells; and a pair of interior display electrodes between the first peripheral display electrode and the second peripheral display electrode, the pair of interior display electrodes comprising a first interior display electrode and a second interior display electrode, the first and second interior display electrodes connected to each other through a short bar located at a center of the corresponding one of the discharge cells, the interior display electrodes opposing the first peripheral display electrode and the second peripheral display electrode to form a first sustain discharge gap between the first peripheral display electrode and the first interior display electrode, and a second sustain discharge gap between the second peripheral display electrode and the second interior display electrode.
