Plasma display panel

A plasma display panel, comprising:

• a front panel, including:
• a front substrate;
• a plurality of display electrodes disposed on the front substrate, and each of the display electrodes composed of a first electrode and a second electrode opposing each other with a discharge gap therebetween;
• and
• a light-shielding layer disposed between the plurality of display electrodes, and
• a rear panel, including:
• a rear substrate facing the front substrate to form a discharge space therebetween;
• a barrier rib disposed on the rear substrate to divide the discharge space;
• a data electrode disposed between the barrier ribs so as to intersect the plurality of display electrodes;
• and
• a phosphor layer disposed between the barrier ribs,
• wherein the light-shielding layer is formed at a plurality of divided areas separately, the plurality of divided areas being areas that the front substrate is divided into by a boundary intersecting the plurality of display electrodes, and
• the light-shielding layer formed in the plurality of divided areas has an unevenness in a profile thereof at the boundary between the plurality of divided areas.
