Plasma display panel

A plasma display panel, comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate provided opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween;
• address electrodes formed on the second substrate;
• barrier ribs mounted between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier ribs defining a plurality of discharge cells and a plurality of non-discharge regions;
• phosphor layers formed within each of the discharge cells;
• and
• discharge sustain electrodes formed on the first substrate,
• wherein the non-discharge regions are formed in areas encompassed by discharge cell abscissas that pass through centers of adjacent discharge cells and discharge cell ordinates that pass through centers of adjacent discharge cells,
• wherein ventilation paths are formed on the barrier ribs defining the non-discharge regions.
