Patent ID: 7728524

Claim:
A plasma display panel (PDP), comprising: first and second substrates which face each other with a predetermined space therebetween; a plurality of barrier ribs disposed between the first and second substrates, comprising longitudinal barrier ribs extending in a first direction and transverse barrier ribs having a height less than a height of the longitudinal barrier ribs and connecting the longitudinal barrier ribs, the plurality of barrier ribs defining a plurality of discharge cells together with the first and second substrates; a plurality of pairs of sustain electrodes disposed on the first substrate, extending in a second direction to cross the longitudinal barrier ribs and corresponding to the discharge cells, each pair of the sustain electrodes comprising first and second sustain electrodes separated by a distance from each other; a plurality of address electrodes disposed on the second substrate to cross the pairs of sustain electrodes; and a fluorescent layer formed in each of the discharge cells, wherein the distance between the first and second sustain electrodes of each pair of the sustain electrodes is greater than the height of the transverse barrier ribs.
