Plasma display panel with improved exhaust conductance

Abstract

A plasma display panel having a partition wall structure with improved exhaust conductance and which can forestall drops in emission efficiency is provided. A plasma display panel having a discharge gas sealed in a space between a pair of opposing substrates, a plurality of display electrodes extending in a transversal direction, address electrodes A extending in a longitudinal direction and intersecting the display electrodes 40, and a lattice-like partition wall 29 having longitudinal partition walls 29V and transversal partition walls 29H, and defining unit light-emitting regions C on one of the substrates. The transversal partition walls 29H defining the unit light-emitting regions have first transversal partition walls 29H-1 each separated by gap 30 running through in the transversal direction, and second transversal partition walls 29H-2 that are not separated by gaps running through in the transversal direction, the first transversal partition walls and the second transversal partition walls being provided alternately. As a result, one transversal wall of a first transversal partition wall, a second transversal partition wall, and another transversal wall of a different first transversal partition wall are connected, in this order, by the longitudinal partition walls 29V, such that the resulting connected units are disposed with the gaps 30 running through in the transversal direction interposed between the connected units.
