Abstract
The present invention relates to a plasma display panel and a plasma display apparatus, and more particularly, to a plasma display panel and plasma display apparatus comprising electrodes. In the plasma display panel and the plasma display apparatus of the present invention, electrodes are formed on upper and lower sides of a discharge cell, respectively, to form a first discharge gap and a second discharge gap. In accordance with the present invention, since a plurality of discharge gaps is formed, the discharge amount can be increased and discharge diffusion can be facilitated. In addition, a discharge sustain voltage can be lowered and brightness and discharge efficiency can be enhanced.
