Abstract
A discharge inert film () is made of an aggregate of fine particles not substantially containing any inorganic binder. Each of sustain discharge electrodes (XB, YB) includes a plurality of discharge gap adjoining portions (a), a bus portion (b) and a plurality of bridge-building portions (c). The bus portion (b) adjoins the electrode pair gap portion (NG), extending along a second direction (D). Each of bridge-building portions (c) extends towards a discharge gap portion (DG). The bridge-building portions (c) are connected to the discharge gap adjoining portions (a), respectively, and these adjoining portions (a) adjoin the discharge gap portion (DG) and are arranged therealong. The film () is so disposed as not to cover the discharge gap adjoining portions (a). When a surface discharge is generated between the sustain discharge electrodes (X, Y) during a reset period, the potential difference between the electrodes (X, Y) is gradually increased.
