Plasma display panel

A plasma display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate, and discharge gas filled in a space defined between said first and second substrates,

• said first substrate including at least one first electrode extending in a first direction, and at least one second electrode extending in parallel with said first electrode,
• said second substrate including at least one third electrode extending in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction, and a plurality of partition walls extending in said second direction for partitioning a display area,
• each of said first and second electrodes being comprised of a principal discharge electrode for carrying out discharge and a bus electrode for reducing a line resistance, said bus electrode being arranged on said first partition walls such that said bus electrode is not exposed to a discharge space in said display area,
• wherein said principal discharge electrode in at least one of said first and second electrodes is comprised of a first portion being in the form of a line extending in said first direction, and defining a discharge gap between itself and an adjacent electrode, and a second portion comprised of a first section spaced away from said first portion and making electrical contact with said bus electrode, and a second section electrically connecting said first portion and said bus electrode to each other.
