Provided is a material for forming barrier ribs, barrier ribs formed using the material, and a PDP comprising the barrier ribs. The material is photosensitive and made from a glass frit composition which is environmentally friendly (no Pb or Bi) and also prevents light scattering. The primary component of the glass frit is PO. Other components can be included in the barrier rib forming material such as an alkali-based metal oxide, BO, SiO, etc. The barrier rib formed of the glass frit can additionally include a photosensitive organic material which may include a crosslinking agent, a polyfunctional monomer or oligomer, a photo initiator, a binder and an additive. A method of forming the barrier ribs comprising the glass frit composition is also provided as is a PDP including such barrier ribs.
