Abstract: To prevent occurrence of abnormal discharge which would reduce the quality of images in a PDP. At least one of an address electrode, a bus electrode, a bus main electrode, and a black electrode of a display electrode formed on a substrate is formed of metal particles and high-resistance glass to dissipate charge accumulated on a dielectric through the high-resistance glass and to prevent charging in a glass component itself, thereby reducing abnormal discharge. The high-resistance glass is preferably realized by vanadium phosphate glass containing vanadium, phosphorus, antimony, and barium. The metal particles desirably contain flaky particles.

Abstract: To prevent sucking of a sealing material in steps of sealing and exhaust of a plasma display panel. The plasma display panel includes a front substrate and a rear substrate, in which the peripheries thereof are sealed by a glass sealing material. A sealing portion formed by the glass sealing material is formed of a multi-layered structure including at least two types of glass with different softening points. The entirety or part of the sealing portion on an inner side of the panel is formed of glass with the highest softening point. Since the high-temperature softened glass serves as a barrier for preventing sucking of the low-temperature softened glass into the panel, it is possible to prevent sucking of the sealing material into the panel. This can improve image display characteristics.
