Patent ID: 7755283

Claim:
A plasma display apparatus, comprising: a front substrate; a plurality of first and second electrodes formed on the front substrate; a front dielectric layer covering the first and second electrodes; a rear substrate that is faced with the front substrate; a plurality of third electrodes formed on the rear substrate; and a plurality of discharge cells, each disposed in a place where respective ones of the first and second electrodes intersect with corresponding ones of the third electrodes, wherein at least one of the first or the second electrode is formed with one layer, wherein at least one of the plurality of first or second electrodes comprises: a line portion including at least two electrode lines formed in a direction that intersects a corresponding one of the third electrodes, and a protrusion that protrudes from the line portion, wherein a width of the line portion arranged in a first discharge cell is different from a width of the line portion arranged in a second discharge cell, that is arranged to radiate a color different from a color of the first discharge cell, wherein a length of the protrusion arranged in the first discharge cell is different from a length of the protrusion arranged in the second discharge cell, and wherein at least one of the first or second electrodes is darker than the front dielectric layer.
