Patent ID: 7397186

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposing one another with a gap therebetween; address electrodes on a surface of the first substrate opposing the second substrate; barrier ribs in a display region between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier ribs defining discharge cells; and discharge sustain electrodes on a surface of the second substrate opposing the first substrate, the discharge sustain electrodes being substantially perpendicular to the address electrodes, wherein the electrodes are in groups of electrodes, and the electrodes further comprise: effective segment elements in the display region, terminal segment elements in a terminal region located outside the display region and having a pitch smaller than a pitch between the effective segment elements, and intermediate segment elements interconnecting the effective segment elements and the terminal segment elements, and wherein at least one group is configured such that lengths of the terminal segment elements increasingly decrease as a distance from a center of the at least one group is increased.
