Abstract: A glass paste used as a starting material of a transparent dielectric of a plasma display panel (“PDP”), the glass paste enabling the baking time required in forming a dielectric layer of the PDP to be shortened without reducing the transmissivity of the dielectric layer. A decomposition accelerator for accelerating the decomposition of an organic component is included in the glass paste so as to contact with the organic component. As a result, the decomposition of the organic component is accelerated when the glass paste is baked. Moreover, since the organic component is substantially eliminated before the baking temperature reaches a temperature at which a glass powder in the glass paste begins to melt, gas from decomposing organic component is not generated when the glass powder melts, and consequently the trapping of gas bubbles within the dielectric layer is prevented.
