Patent ID: 7183720

Claim:
A plasma display panel of an AC 3-electrode plane discharge type, comprising: a front substrate; a back substrate; a plurality of electrode pairs of a first plane discharge electrode and a second plane discharge electrode formed on said front substrate to extend to a row direction; a plurality of address electrodes formed on said back substrate to extend in a column direction so as to provide a plurality of discharge cells such that said discharge cells are respectively positioned at intersections between said electrode pairs and said address electrodes to form a matrix; a plurality of row separation walls formed on said back substrate or said front substrate and said plurality of address electrodes to extend in said row direction such that each row of said discharge cells is defined by two of adjacent row separation walls; and a plurality of column separation walls formed on said back substrate or said front substrate to extend in said column direction such that each column of said discharge cells is defined by two of adjacent column separation walls; wherein each of said first plane discharge electrode and said second plane discharge electrode includes a transparent electrode and a bus electrode connected with said transparent electrode, said bus electrode having a lower resistivity than said transparent electrode, said bus electrodes of said first plane discharge electrodes are respectively provided straight above said row separation walls, and said second plane discharge electrodes are respectively provided straight above said rows of discharge cells.
