Plasma display panel

Abstract

A plasma display panel (PDP), includes a temperature difference between a display area and a peripheral area not increasing greatly in an aging process, thus preventing a damage of the PDP due to a difference between thermal expansion rates of the display area and the peripheral area. The PDP includes a transparent front substrate; a back substrate disposed in parallel to the front substrate; light emitting cells defined by barrier ribs that are disposed between the front substrate and the back substrate; address electrodes extended throughout the light emitting cells that are disposed in a row; a back dielectric layer covering the address electrodes; sustain electrode pairs, each of which includes an X electrode and a Y electrode that are extended to cross the address electrodes and parallel to each other; a front dielectric layer covering the sustain electrode pairs; a phosphor layer disposed in the light emitting cell; and a discharge gas filled in the light emitting cell. Some of the sustain electrode pairs includes the X electrodes having short connection terminals and the Y electrodes having long connection terminals, and the other sustain electrode pairs include the X electrodes having long connection terminals and the Y electrodes having short connection terminals.
