A plasma display panel (PDP) includes a first plate, and a second plate disposed to face the first plate via a discharge space and providing barrier ribs. A plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes extending in a first direction, and a dielectric layer covering the first electrodes and the second electrodes are provided on the first plate. A plurality of address electrodes extending in a second direction, and a protective layer covering the dielectric layer and the address electrodes and exposing at least a part of the protective layer to the discharge space are provided on the dielectric layer. The address electrodes are made up by including a conductive layer formed by either one of aluminum and an alloy containing aluminum and copper and by not including a layer of a simple substance of copper.

Plasma display panel

A plasma display panel has a first plate and a second plate facing each other via a discharge space. A plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes extending in a first direction, and a plurality of address electrodes extending in a second direction intersecting with the first direction are provided at the first plate. Also, a plurality of first barrier ribs extending in the second direction are integrally formed with the second plate at the first plate side of the second plate. Further, the plasma display panel has, for example, an antireflective film formed on a surface of the second plate at an opposite side of a surface facing the first plate. As a result, a contrast of an image can be improved.

Plasma display panel, plasma display panel unit, and method of manufacturing plasma display panel

A plasma display panel includes a first and a second panel. The first panel includes a first plate provided with a plurality of display electrodes extending in a first direction. The second panel includes a second plate facing the first plate via a discharge space, a plurality of first barrier ribs provided on the second plate, and a dent part opened to a side of the first plate. The dent part is provided in between the barrier ribs adjacent to each other. A width of the dent part along the first direction is formed to be narrower toward a side of the second plate from the side of the first plate for at least within a range from a position at a half of a depth to a bottom part of the dent part. As a result, a luminescent efficiency of the PDP can be improved.
