Patent ID: 7615927

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposing one another with a gap therebetween; barrier ribs in the gap and defining a plurality of discharge cells; a phosphor layer in each of the discharge cells; address electrodes on the first substrate and extending in a first direction; a first dielectric layer covering and touching the address electrodes; display electrodes on the first dielectric layer and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction and separated from the address electrodes; a second dielectric layer covering and touching the display electrodes on the first dielectric layer; and discharge grooves, each of the discharge grooves being in the second dielectric layer in a portion of an area opposite the phosphor layer of a corresponding one of the plurality of discharge cells, and is offset in the first and second directions from the display electrodes corresponding to the corresponding one of the plurality of discharge cells.
