Abstract: An alternating-current plasma display panel having common electrode lines, scan electrode lines, and address electrode lines arranged between first and second substrates opposite and spaced apart from each other, the common electrode lines being parallel to the scan electrode lines, the address electrode lines being orthogonal to the common electrode lines and the scan electrode lines, to define corresponding pixels at respective crossings. The input terminals to which driving signals corresponding to the common electrode lines are applied are located opposite the input terminals to which driving signals corresponding to the scan electrode lines are input. The surface areas of respective common bus electrode lines and respective scan bus electrode lines increase toward corresponding input terminals.

Abstract: A plasma display including a rear substrate having a picture display area including partitions arranged in parallel, address electrodes between the partitions and a phosphor layer deposited over the address electrodes; a front substrate having electrodes formed on the bottom surface thereof to cross the address electrodes, and sealed with the rear substrate by an adhesive on the edges of the substrates; an inlet and an outlet formed in the rear substrate, through which a flushing gas flows into and out of the display, respectively; and at least one path block for blocking flow of the flushing gas along paths nearest to the edges, such that the flushing gas flowed in through the inlet flows along the paths between the partitions to exit via the outlet.
