Abstract: A plasma display panel includes a front panel and a rear panel. The front panel includes a front substrate and a display electrode. The rear panel includes a rear substrate, a barrier rib, a data electrode, and a phosphor layer. The rear substrate is arranged while facing the front substrate to form a discharge space between the front panel and the rear substrate. The barrier rib is formed at the rear substrate to partition the discharge space, the data electrode is formed while intersecting the display electrode, and the phosphor layer is formed between the barrier ribs. The barrier rib is formed at the divided areas separately in a direction parallel to the data electrode, and the barrier ribs formed at the divided areas separately have different properties among the plurality of areas. A large-screen plasma display panel having a high-resolution display quality is easily realized by the above configuration.

Abstract: A plasma display panel has a first substrate, plural pairs of display electrodes, a second substrate, and plural data electrodes. Each pair of the display electrodes is made up of a scanning electrode and a sustain electrode which are arranged parallel to each other on the first substrate. The second substrate is disposed opposite to the first substrate. A discharge space is formed between the first substrate and second substrate. The data electrodes are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the display electrodes on the second substrate. The data electrode is wider in peripheral portion of the second substrate than in a central portion of the second substrate.
