Abstract
A plasma display panel has a matrix of plural first straight electrodes and plural straight second electrodes, respectively crossing each other, and a unit color element located at a crossing point of the first and second electrodes. A plurality of separator walls are spaced apart from each other and extend along the second electrodes, dividing a discharge space into a plurality of channels extending along respective, second electrodes. The separator walls undulate with a fixed periodicity so as to define alternating wide and narrow portions aligned along each channel and the respective first electrode. A fluorescent material is coated in each channel, the colors emitted from the fluorescent material being identical in each channel. A gas discharge takes place selectively at the wide portions in cooperation with the respective first and second electrodes. Optionally, connecting walls connect respective narrow portions of the adjacent separator walls, a height of the connecting wall being substantially lower than the height of the separator walls so as to allow the wide and narrow portions of each channel to be spatially continuous throughout a length of the channel.
