Plasma display panel with control resistance values for restricting current flow into the cathodes

Abstract

A plasma display panel prevents mutual reaction between the cathode electrodes and resistance layers during the manufacturing process and reduces any decreasing of resistance values. Also, equal brightness on the entire surface of the screen and a high-resolution image is attained. And finally, the manufacturing process is made simple and there is optimization of the whole structure. Connect bars are inserted between the anodes and cathode electrodes in order to make equal, at every connecting discharge cell, the resistance values, and there is a reduction of contact resistance to such an extend that it can be discounted. Trigger electrodes and cathode bus lines, which emit auxiliary discharges, are formed parallel to each other on an identical plane. Branch electrodes that extend out from the trigger electrodes are arranged so as to extend out into the discharge cells.
