Patent ID: 7692387

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate which is separated from the first substrate and faces the first substrate; a plurality of barrier ribs formed between the first and second substrates and defining a plurality of discharge cells; a plurality of sustain electrodes formed between the first and second substrates, comprising inner sustain electrodes and outer sustain electrodes; a plurality of scan electrodes formed in parallel to the sustain electrodes and comprising inner scan electrodes and outer scan electrodes; a plurality of address electrodes formed between the first and second substrates and extending in a direction crossing the sustain electrodes and the scan electrodes; an inner sustain connection electrode that electrically connects the inner sustain electrodes formed in adjacent discharge cells arranged in the extending direction of the address electrodes; and a discharge prevention element that prevents the generation of discharge in a non-discharge region around the inner sustain connection electrode, wherein the sustain electrodes and the scan electrodes are repeatedly and alternately disposed in each of the discharge cells, and wherein adjacent electrodes of the outer sustain and outer scan electrodes formed in two adjacent discharge cells arranged in an extending direction of the address electrodes are electrically connected to each other.
