Abstract
A sustain electrode ( ) formed by a metal thick film consists of (i) a base portion ( ) extending along a second direction (D ) and (ii) a projecting portion ( ) coupled with the base portion ( ) to extend toward another sustain electrode ( ) with respect to the base portion ( ). The projecting portion ( ) consists of (ii-1) two first portions ( ) coupled with an end of the base portion ( ) in the second direction (D ) to extend along a first direction (D ), (ii-2) a second portion ( ) coupled with an end of the first portion ( ) on the side of the other sustain electrode ( ) in the first direction (D ) to extend along the second direction (D ) and connect the two first portions ( ) with each other, and (ii-3) a third portion ( ) coupled with portions of the first portions ( ) separate from the second portion ( ) for connecting the two first portions ( ) with each other. Luminance of an AC-PDP comprising a sustain electrode consisting of only a metal thick film can be improved.
