Abstract: Barrier ribs of a plasma display panel are manufactured by a) forming barrier ribs having predetermined thicknesses on a substrate where electrodes are formed, b) heating the barrier ribs to a maximum baking temperature to bake the barrier ribs, c) cooling the barrier ribs to an intermediate temperature lower than the maximum baking temperature, d) pressing upper portions of the barrier ribs by using a planarization roller at the intermediate temperature so as to make upper surfaces of the barrier ribs plane, and e) cooling the barrier ribs to a room temperature.

Abstract: A plasma display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate, the first substrate and the second substrate being provided with a predetermined gap therebetween. Barrier ribs are formed in a non-striped pattern between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier ribs defining a plurality of discharge spaces. A plurality of address electrodes are formed on the first substrate along a direction (y), the address electrodes being formed within and outside discharge spaces. A plurality of sustain electrodes are formed on the second substrate along a direction (x), the sustain electrodes being formed within and outside discharge spaces. The address electrodes include large electrode portions provided within discharge spaces and small electrode portions provided outside the discharge spaces. If a width of large electrode portions is AW, a width of small electrode portions is Aw, and a distance between barrier ribs along direction (x) is D, AW is larger than Aw, and AW is 40-75% of D.

Abstract: A reinforced substrate for use in at least one of two substrates forming a flat panel display together with a display generating material filled between the two substrates, has a reinforcing structure for preventing bending of a substrate installed on one surface of the substrate. According to one embodiment, the reinforcing structure includes an array of hollow polygonal pillars formed of transparent glass or plastic. According to another embodiment, the reinforcing structure is made of transparent glass or plastic, and further includes an electrically conductive film which is coated on one end surface of the hollow polygonal pillars and is then grounded to block electromagnetic waves generated inside the flat panel display. According to a still another embodiment, the reinforcing structure is made of conductive metal, and one end of the array of hollow polygonal pillars is grounded to block electromagnetic waves generated inside the flat panel display.
