A plasma display panel (PDP) and a method of manufacturing the panel includes sustain electrodes having a double gap structure and a predetermined resistance value. Each of the sustain electrodes includes a main electrode for sustaining a discharge and an auxiliary electrode for starting a low-voltage discharge without decreasing efficiency. A gap between auxiliary electrodes included in different sustain electrodes, respectively, is narrower than a gap between the different sustain electrodes. Each auxiliary electrode is formed between barrier ribs or immediately above a barrier rib. A ditch is formed in a dielectric layer covering the main electrodes and the auxiliary electrodes. The ditch is formed immediately above an auxiliary electrode.
