Patent ID: 7504776

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a pair of substrates arranged opposite to each other, each having a display region and a non-display region; barrier ribs in a space between the substrates forming a plurality of discharge cells; a phosphor layer in each of the discharge cells; address electrodes on one of the substrates; and first electrodes and second electrodes on the other substrate extending in a direction orthogonal to the address electrodes and spaced apart from each other to form discharge gaps in the discharge cells, wherein the first electrodes and the second electrodes extend into the non-display region at lengths different from each other, wherein each of the first electrodes and the second electrodes includes a plurality of line portions spaced apart from each other, wherein the plurality of line portions include: first line portions with the discharge cells interposed therebetween; second line portions opposite to each other in the discharge cells to form the discharge gaps, and wherein the second line portions of the first electrodes extend into the non-display region by a distance shorter than a distance the second line portions of the second electrodes extend into the non-display region.
