Patent ID: 7482754

Claim:
A plasma display panel comprising: an upper substrate; an upper dielectric layer formed on a lower surface of said upper substrate; a lower substrate facing said upper substrate; a lower dielectric layer formed on an upper surface of said lower substrate; a plurality of address electrodes disposed in said lower dielectric layer and spaced apart; a plurality of barrier ribs, comprising longitudinal barrier ribs that extend between and parallel to said address electrodes and spaced apart, disposed between said upper substrate and said lower substrate; a phosphor layer formed in discharge spaces disposed between said longitudinal barrier ribs; and a plurality of pairs of sustain electrodes disposed in said upper dielectric layer, each of the pairs comprising a first sustain electrode and a second sustain electrode disposed alternatively along the longitudinal barrier ribs, and protruding outward respectively from the major axis of longitudinal barrier ribs over the discharge space disposed between the longitudinal barrier ribs to form discharge gaps extending along a longitudinal direction of the discharge space.
