Abstract
A plasma display panel has a pair of insulating substrates (a front substrate and a rear substrate) which face each other. A plurality of surface discharge electrodes, each including a transparent scanning electrode and a transparent maintaining electrode arranged with a surface discharge gap in between, are formed in a matrix form on the front substrate. A plurality of scanning trace electrodes, which are made of metal material, are formed extending horizontally on the scanning electrodes. A plurality of first partition walls are formed vertically extending in stripes between the surface discharge electrodes. A plurality of maintaining trace electrodes, connected to the maintaining electrodes, are formed vertically extending on the first partition walls. The front substrate having the electrodes thus formed thereon is covered with a transparent dielectric layer and a magnesia oxide layer in sequence. Meanwhile, a white dielectric layer, which reflects visible light with high efficiency, is formed on the rear substrate. A plurality of second partition walls are formed vertically extending in stripes on the white dielectric layer. A plurality of phosphor layers are formed between the second partition walls by forming separate stripe coatings of phosphor materials for red, green and blue.
