Abstract
A plasma display device having improved efficiency and increased image quality. This device includes a pair of front and back substrates opposed to each other to form between the substrates a discharge space partitioned by barrier ribs, a plurality of display electrodes each disposed on the front substrate to form a discharge cell between the barrier ribs, a dielectric layer formed above the front substrate to cover the display electrodes, and a phosphor layer which emits light by discharge between the display electrodes. The dielectric layer is constructed of at least two layers of different dielectric constants and is formed with, at its surface closer to the discharge space, a recessed part in each discharge cell. This limits a discharge region, thus realizing highly efficient discharge. The structure having the two layers of different dielectric constants can suppress crosstalk even if this structure has reduced thickness.
