Plasma display panel
View Patent ↗The plasma display panel includes: a front panel having a front substrate and display electrodes; and a rear panel having a rear substrate, a barrier rib, a data electrode and a phosphor layer. The rear substrate faces the front substrate to form a discharge space therebetween. The barrier rib is disposed on the rear substrate to divide the discharge space. The data electrode intersects the display electrodes. The phosphor layer is disposed between the barrier ribs. Further, the display electrodes are formed at a plurality of divided areas separately. The plurality of divided areas is the areas that the front substrate is divided into by a boundary intersecting the display electrodes. The display electrodes formed in the plurality of divided areas have unevenesses in profiles thereof at the boundary between the plurality of divided areas. This configuration easily provides a plasma display panel having a large screen and high resolution as display quality.
