Abstract: A plasma display panel having a uniformly distributed firing voltage despite of irregular discharge gaps, the plasma display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, barrier ribs between the first and second substrates to define discharge cells, address electrodes corresponding to the discharge cells and extending in a first direction, first and second electrodes respectively extending in a second direction crossing the first direction and formed on any one of the first and second substrates, corresponding to the discharge cells, and a dielectric layer covering the first and second electrodes, where the first and second electrodes are spaced apart from each other to form a discharge gap having distances, the dielectric layer having varied permittivities according to distances of the discharge gaps to improve discharge uniformity according to the distances of the discharge gaps.

Abstract: Provided is a plasma display panel including: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; an upper dielectric layer formed on the inner surface of the first substrate; and a first ceramic layer which has about the same thermal expansion coefficient as the upper dielectric layer, faces the upper dielectric layer, and is formed on the outer surface of the first substrate. Alternatively, the plasma display panel includes: a first lower dielectric layer formed on the second substrate and having a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the second substrate by ?; and a second lower dielectric layer formed on the first lower dielectric layer and having a thermal expansion coefficient less than that of the second substrate by ?.
