Patent ID: 7230380

Claim:
A plasma display panel, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate disposed to face each other, a space between the first substrate and the second substrate being divided into a discharge cell; a phosphor layer formed in the discharge cell; an address electrode for the discharge cell, the address electrode being formed in a first direction; and a first electrode and a second electrode for the discharge cell, the first electrode and the second electrode being formed in a second direction crossing the first direction, the first electrode and the second electrode being electrically isolated from the address electrode, a shape of the first electrode being substantially different from a shape of the second electrode, wherein the first electrode has a first portion that corresponds to a discharge space of the discharge cell, and a second portion that is connected to the first portion and formed along the second direction, wherein the first portion and the second electrode face each other with a space therebetween in the discharge cell, and wherein a length in the second direction of a portion of the first portion near the first substrate is different from a length in the second direction of another portion of the first portion near the second substrate.
