  • Publication number: 20040007975
    Abstract: A barrier rib structure for a plasma display panel is described. According to the present invention, horizontal barrier ribs having different widths are located parallel to each other. A plurality of perpendicular barrier ribs is used to divide adjacent horizontal barrier ribs into a plurality of discharge spaces. The different width horizontal barrier ribs cause different heights for horizontal barrier ribs during the sintering process. Therefore, gas passages are formed between the barrier ribs and the upper substrate when the upper and the down substrate are sealed together.
