Abstract

A plasma display panel comprises a front substrate and a rear substrate, a plurality of row electrode pairs provided on the inner surface of the front substrate, a dielectric layer provided on the inner surface of the front substrate for coverring the row electrode pairs, a plurality of column electrodes provided on the inner surface of the rear substrate, a partition wall assembly provided between the front substrate and the rear substrate, said partition wall assembly including a plurality of longitudinal partition walls and a plurality of lateral partition walls, forming a plurality of discharge cells. In particular, the dielectric layer has a plurality of projection portions located corresponding to and protruding toward the lateral partition walls of the partition wall assembly, in a manner such that there would be no slots formed between the dielectric layer and the lateral partition walls.

Claims (8)

1. A plasma display panel comprising:

a front substrate;

a plurality of row electrode pairs provided on the inner surface of the front substrate, said row electrode pairs being arranged in parallel with one another and extending in the row direction of the panel, with each row electrode pair forming a displaying line;

a dielectric layer provided on the inner surface of the front substrate for covering the row electrode pairs;

a rear substrate arranged in parallel with and space-apart from the front substrate, forming a discharge space therebetween;

a plurality of column electrodes provided on the inner surface of the rear substrate, said column electrodes being arranged in parallel with one another and extending in the column direction of the panel, in a manner such that at each intersection of a row electrode pair with a column electrode there is formed a light emission unit;

a partition wall assembly provided between the front substrate and the rear substrate, said partition wall assembly including a plurality of longitudinal partition walls and a plurality of lateral partition walls, thereby dividing the discharge space into a plurality of discharge cells;

wherein outer portions of each pair of lateral partition walls for forming light emission units are bent towards each other and mutually connected in a dummy cell of the panel, wherein each mutually connected portion is located in an intermediate area between the pair of partition walls.
