Abstract
A plasma display panel has, on the display-side inner surface of one substrate out of a pair of substrates disposed opposite to each other via a discharge space, plural pairs of row electrodes extending in parallel in a first direction with each discharge gap held therebetween, dielectric layers for the row electrodes with respect to the discharge space; and on the back-side inner surface of the other substrate disposed opposite to the display-side substrate, plural pairs of column electrodes extending in a second direction perpendicularly crossing the first direction and forming unit luminous areas in intersecting portions with respect to the respective pairs of row electrodes, and belt-like partition walls for partitioning the discharge space into the unit luminous areas in the first direction. The row electrode includes a transparent conductive film having a body portion extending in the first direction in the proximity of the discharge gap and a projecting portion projecting in each unit luminous area from the body portion in a direction away from the discharge gap, and a metal film connected to the leading end portion of the projecting portion of the transparent conductive film and extending in the first direction.
