Plasma display panel with discharge cells having curved concave-shaped walls

Abstract

A plasma display panel is provided. The plasma display panel includes front and rear substrates facing each other to form a discharge space therebetween, a plurality of address electrodes provided in stripes on an upper surface of the rear substrate, a first dielectric layer provided to cover the address electrodes on the upper surface of the rear substrate, and partitions provided on a upper surface of the first dielectric layer to partition the discharge space. On a lower surface of the front substrate are a plurality of second dielectric layers extending in a direction perpendicular to the address electrodes, each of the second dielectric layers protruding from a lower surface of the front substrate, both sides of each of the second dielectric layers being concavely curved, first and second sustaining electrodes provided to be slanted to face each other on both sides of each of the second dielectric layers, and a third dielectric layer provided on a lower surface of the second dielectric layers to cover the first and second sustaining electrodes.
