Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a front filter for a plasma display panel (PDP). In particular, the present invention relates to a front filter for a PDP comprising functional films including a conductive mesh film (2) having a black treated layer (2a), an optical film (1c) and an antireflection film (4) laminated on a glass substrate (3), wherein a transparent glass substrate (3) is used without a black ceramic stripe, which is formed at the rear side of the glass substrate (3) to improve visibility. Instead, composition and thickness of the oxide film forming the black treated layer (2a) of the conductive mesh film (2) are adjusted to attain comparable or better visibility, as compared with conventional filters. The minimized one-step fabricating process of the present invention provides advantages in terms of cost effectiveness and environment friendliness.
