Abstract: A plasma display panel (PDP) can include a front panel with a plurality of scan electrodes and a plurality of common electrodes and a rear panel with a plurality of installed barrier walls. In such a PDP, a plurality of first bus electrodes and a plurality of second bus electrodes may be formed on one surface of a front substrate of the front panel. The first bus electrodes may be formed in contact with one surface of the front substrate, and at least portions of the scan electrodes and common electrodes may be formed between the first bus electrodes and the second bus electrodes. Also, the first bus electrodes may include a conductive material that absorbs light from the other surface of the front substrate.

Abstract: A plasma display device includes a plasma display panel. A chassis base is disposed substantially parallel to the plasma display panel, and a thermal conduction medium is interposed between and closely contacting the plasma display panel and the chassis base. The thermal conduction medium is a composite sheet having a thermal conductivity which is greater in a planar direction of the composite sheet than the thermal conductivity in a thickness direction of the composite sheet.

Abstract: At least one plasma display panel having barrier ribs for partitioning discharge cells is manufactured from first and second substrates. The manufacturing method includes forming the barrier ribs according to a process including forming a barrier rib forming layer on the first substrate, forming a resist covering the barrier rib forming layer, patterning the resist to form openings thereof corresponding to a predetermined discharge cell pattern, etching the barrier rib forming layer according to the resist pattern, and baking the etched barrier rib forming layer. During the patterning of the resist, an area of an opening distal from a center of the first substrate is formed different from an area of an opening in the vicinity of the center of the first substrate.
