Plasma display panel and method of manufacture of same

A method of manufacturing a plasma display panel comprising a first substrate having formed thereon a plurality of transparent electrodes, a plurality of bus electrodes, and a dielectric layer covering said plurality of transparent electrodes and said plurality of bus electrodes and a second substrate positioned in opposed relationship to said first substrate and defining a discharge space therebetween, said method comprising:

• forming a dielectric paste layer on said first substrate covering said plurality of transparent electrodes and said plurality of bus electrodes and having a composition including a main element of a composition of said bus electrodes;
• baking said first substrate with said dielectric paste layer thereon in a baking atmosphere to form said dielectric layer.

A substrate structure of an AC type plasma display panel comprising, on a substrate surface, a transparent electrode formed of a transparent conductor and a bus electrode formed of a metal conductor partly overlapping said transparent conductor, a dielectric layer covering said substrate surface in such a manner so as to be in contact with both said transparent electrodes and said bus electrodes, and said dielectric layer having a composition including a main element of a composition of said bus electrode in an amount sufficient to prevent diffusion of said bus electrode main element into said dielectric layer.
