The plasma display apparatus includes a first electrode and a second electrode formed on an upper substrate, and a barrier rib. The second electrode is arranged in parallel with the first electrode. The barrier rib is formed on a lower substrate opposite to the upper substrate to divide a discharge space. The first electrode and the second electrode are respectively protruded toward the discharge space to have a predetermined thickness. A discharge occurs between the first electrode and the second electrodes opposite to the first electrode. Since the margin of static characteristics increases, the voltage range in which stable driving is possible increase and the amount of the consumption of the discharge current decreases, to thereby reducing power consumption, and enhancing the luminous efficiency and the efficiency of the plasma discharge.
