Abstract
A plasma display panel (PDP) which can realize low voltage driving, to thus reduce power consumption, and which can improve luminous efficiency through a long gap. The PDP includes a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other, barrier ribs arranged in a space between the first substrate and the second substrate to define a plurality of discharge cells, phosphor layers formed in each of the plurality of discharge cells, address electrodes formed on the second substrate, and display electrodes provided on the first substrate. The display electrodes include igniter electrodes having ends protruding towards insides of the discharge cells, the igniter electrodes opposing the address electrodes within the discharge cells.

A plasma display panel comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other;
- barrier ribs arranged in a space between the first substrate and the second substrate to define a plurality of discharge cells;
- phosphor layers formed in each of the plurality of discharge cells;
- address electrodes formed on the second substrate;
- and
- display electrodes formed on the first substrate,
- wherein the display electrodes include igniter electrodes having ends protruding towards insides of the discharge cells, the igniter electrodes opposing the address electrodes within the discharge cells.
A structure for initiating sustain discharge in a plasma display panel, the plasma display panel having a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other, barrier ribs arranged in a space between the first substrate and the second substrate to define a plurality of discharge cells, phosphor layers formed in each of the plurality of discharge cells, address electrodes formed on the second substrate, and display electrodes formed on the first substrate, the display electrodes including pairs of bus electrodes with respective protrusion electrodes extending from respective bus electrodes into the discharge cells, the sturcture comprising:
- igniter electrodes mounted to each of a respective pair of bus electrodes, the igniter electrodes having ends distal from the respective pair of bus electrodes and located between the protrusion electrodes, such that a gap between opposing faces of the ends may provide an initial sustain discharge in the respective discharge cell when a discharge sustain driving voltage is applied to the display electrodes.
