Patent ID: 7492100

Claim:
A plasma display panel (PDP), comprising: a transparent front substrate; a rear substrate disposed in parallel with the front substrate; front barrier ribs made of a single dielectric material and located between the front substrate and the rear substrate so as to define discharge cells together with the front substrate and the rear substrate, with each of the discharge cells comprising not more than a single address electrode; front discharge electrodes located in the front barrier ribs so as to surround the discharge cells, and separated from the front substrate; rear discharge electrodes located in the front barrier ribs so as to surround the discharge cells, and separated from the front discharge electrodes; rear barrier ribs located between the front barrier ribs and the rear substrate so as to define the discharge cells together with the front barrier ribs, the front substrate and the rear substrate; fluorescent layers located in spaces defined by the rear barrier ribs and the rear substrate; and a discharge gas deposited in the discharge cells, with the front discharge electrodes are oriented to form an angle θ a between a first front line and a second front line, θ a being in a range of 0 degrees to 75 degrees, and the first front line being a shortest line connecting a front edge of an outer sidewall of one of the front barrier ribs to a front edge of an outer sidewall of one of the front discharge electrodes, and the second front line being a shortest line connecting the outer sidewall of said one of the front discharge electrodes to the outer sidewall of said one of the front barrier ribs.
