Patent ID: 7687994

Claim:
A Plasma Display Panel (PDP), comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate and facing the first substrate; barrier ribs arranged between the first and second substrates and defining discharge cells where a discharge occurs; a plurality of discharge electrode pairs comprising X electrodes and Y electrodes extending across the discharge cells; a plurality of floating electrodes each arranged adjacent to a respective Y electrode, and each arranged corresponding to the Y electrode and a respective X electrode; address electrodes extending across the discharge cells and intersecting the discharge electrode pairs within the discharge cells, portions of the address electrodes facing the Y electrodes being wider than portions of the address electrodes facing the X electrodes; and phosphor layers arranged within the discharge cells, wherein each of the plurality of floating electrodes is arranged below the respective Y electrode and between the respective Y electrode and the second substrate, and each of the plurality of floating electrodes is arranged closer to the respective Y electrode than to the respective X electrode.
