Abstract: A reducing agent is discharged by an ink-jet method into a groove between partition walls of a glass substrate formed by sandblasting, that is, a desired region where an electrode is to be formed. After fixing the reducing agent to the glass substrate, the entire substrate is immersed into a plating solution so as to reduce and deposit a plating catalytic metal contained in the plating solution in the region where the reducing agent is fixed. By immersing the entire substrate into an electroless plating solution, a metal is deposited by electroless plating in the region where the plating catalytic metal is deposited. The variation in the shape of electrodes to be formed is reduced, and mass production and low cost are achieved.

The structure eliminates the black stripes on a front substrate, leading to more freedom in material selection without suffering from the known problem of tarnishing of component members. Further, non-discharge spaces are provided in barrier ribs formed on a rear substrate and black material layers functioning as the black stripes are formed in cavities corresponding to the non-discharge spaces. Thus, this structure serves to form the black material layers in a sequential process which is similar to that for forming phosphor layers, thereby allowing the plasma display panel to have excellent contrast without complicating the structure and the fabrication process thereof.
