Patent ID: 8004171

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a front panel comprising a first substrate, a first electrode, a first dielectric layer and a protective layer, the first electrode being formed on the first substrate, the first dielectric layer being formed over the first substrate so as to cover the first electrode, and the protective layer being formed on the first dielectric layer; and a rear panel comprising a second substrate, a second electrode, a second dielectric layer and a phosphor layer, the second electrode being formed on the second substrate, the second dielectric layer being formed over the second substrate so as to cover the second electrode, and the phosphor layer being formed on the second dielectric layer, wherein the front panel and the rear panel are disposed so that the protective layer and the phosphor layer are opposed to each other, and thereby a discharge space is formed between the front panel and the rear panel; at least the first dielectric layer has a carbon concentration of 10 3 ppm to 10 5 ppm, wherein the carbon is derived from an alkyl or alkylene group bonded to a siloxane backbone, the siloxane backbone being contained in at least one of the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer; each of the first and second electrodes has an edge curl; and a dielectric layer is disposed between the first dielectric layer and the first electrode, and has a carbon concentration of 10 4 ppm or lower.
