Plasma display panel

Abstract

A plasma display panel includes a pair of substrates, a dielectric layer, a protective film, and a discharge gas. The pair of substrates are disposed in an opposite relation with a discharge space defined therebetween. The dielectric layer is formed on at least one of the substrates so that the dielectric layer covers a plurality of electrodes formed on said at least one of the substrates. The protective film is formed on the dielectric layer so that the protective film covers the dielectric layer. The discharge gas is filled in the discharge space and contains xenon. The dielectric layer is formed of a material containing silicon oxide. The protective film is formed of a material that has little aptitude to pass ultraviolet light generated by an electric discharge between the electrodes.
