Abstract

A discharge electrode structure of a plasma display panel is described. The discharge electrode structure includes a plurality of expanding electrodes or expanding portions that each one has a symmetric structure. The expanding electrodes are alternately coupled to a pair of conductive electrodes that are on the edge of a plurality of luminant cells in one row. Therefore, oblique symmetric electrodes are disposed at opposite corner location of each luminant cell.

Claims (24)
