Abstract

A plasma display panel (PDP) includes first and second substrates opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween. The PDP also includes address electrodes formed on a surface of the first substrate opposing the second substrate, and barrier ribs formed in the gap between the first and second substrates. The barrier ribs define discharge cells, and a phosphor layer is formed in each of the discharge cells. Further, discharge sustain electrodes made of a metal material are formed on a surface of the second substrate opposing the first substrate. The discharge sustain electrodes include line sections, each pair of which is formed corresponding to each discharge cell, and extensions are formed extending from the line sections into each of the discharge cells to define openings. Also, indentations are formed in distal ends of each of the extensions such that discharge gaps of differing sizes are formed between each pair of the extensions.
