Abstract
A plasma display includes discharge gas spaces, first and second insulating substrates, stripe row electrodes, an insulating layer, a protective layer, stripe column electrodes, another insulating layer, phosphors, and ribs. The discharge gas spaces constitute a plurality of pixels. The first and second insulating substrates are arranged parallel to each other so as to sandwich the discharge gas spaces. The row electrodes are arranged on a surface of the first insulating substrate which opposes the discharge gas spaces. The first insluating layer is stacked on the stripe row electrodes. The protective layer is stacked on the insulating layer. The column electrodes are arranged on a surface of the second insulating substrate, which opposes the discharge gas spaces, in a direction perpendicular to the row electrodes. The second insulating layer is stacked on the column electrodes. The phosphors are stacked on the insulating layer at positions corresponding to the pixels, respectively. The ribs are arranged on the row electrodes so as to define the pixels. A method of driving the plasma display is also disclosed.
