Plasma display panel having electomagnetic wave shielding layer

A plasma display panel (PDP), comprising:

• a transparent front substrate;
• a rear substrate disposed parallel to the front substrate;
• an electromagnetic wave shielding layer fixed to the front substrate;
• a plurality of discharge cells defined by barrier ribs disposed between the front substrate and the rear substrate;
• a plurality of address electrodes extending over the discharge cells and disposed in a given direction;
• a rear dielectric layer covering the address electrodes;
• a plurality of fluorescent layers disposed in the discharge cells;
• a plurality of sustaining electrode pairs extending in a direction which crosses the given direction of the address electrodes;
• a front dielectric layer covering the sustaining electrode pairs;
• a discharge gas filling the discharge cells;
• and
• a near infrared ray shielding layer fixed to the front substrate.

A PDP, comprising:
