Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display panel and method for manufacturing the same in which electron discharge characteristic is improved and a voltage margin can be secured. According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a plasma display panel including a plurality of a pair of display electrodes formed and arranged parallely on an upper plate, a plurality of address electrodes formed on a lower plate and arranged to be crossed to the display electrodes, a barrier rib defined a discharge space on the lower plate, and fluorescent body formed between the barrier ribs, includes further: a number of discharge cells having the discharge space; and an alkali metal layer formed in the discharge cells for supplying electrons to the discharge space.

Abstract: A plasma display panel is provided which evenly deposits a phosphorus layer by forming a buffer layer before forming the phosphorus layer within a discharge cell of a rear surface substrate. The plasma display panel includes a front substrate on which are formed common sustain electrode and scan sustain electrodes and through which light is emitted and a rear substrate on which discharge cells are formed by barrier ribs and address electrodes. The rear substrate may be bonded to the front substrate by frit glass.

Abstract: A plasma display panel configuration helps to prevent unwanted discharge generation in cells adjacent to excited discharge cells and to improve picture quality of the plasma display panel. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes barrier ribs for partitioning off discharge cells, wherein edge parts of the cross sectional shape of the barrier ribs are lower than central parts of the cross sectional shape of the barrier ribs and can have a number of distinctive shapes.

Abstract: It is disclosed that there is a method and an apparatus for driving a plasma display panel that is adaptive for improving brightness as well as realizing a high resolution. A method and an apparatus for driving a plasma display panel according to the present invention displays discharge cells of the (3i?2)th and (3i?1)th rows in use of the first video signal field; and discharge cells of the (3i?1)th and (3i)th rows in use of the second video signal field.

Abstract: A method of driving a plasma display panel that is adaptive for improving a picture quality. In the method, a scanning pulse is applied to first electrodes so as to select a discharge cell in an address period. A data pulse synchronized with the scanning pulse is applied to address electrodes arranged to cross the first electrodes. A reset pulse is applied to the first electrodes in the reset period, and a pulse width of the reset pulse is set differently depending upon an application sequence of the scanning pulse.
