Plasma display panel device and method of fabricating the same

An AC plasma display panel device comprising front and rear insulating substrates spaced apart from each other;

• an electrode arrangement comprising a first group of electrode composites in parallel facing a discharge space filled with ionizable gas, and a second group of electrode composites;
• the first and second group of electrode composites being positioned face to face in an orthogonal relationship across the discharge space, formed on the surface of the insulating substrates with specified electrode patterns, the electrode arrangement being coated with a dielectric on at least one of the insulating substrates, wherein the electrode composite on at least the front insulating substrate comprises;
• a conductor electrode arrangement comprising a group of conductor electrodes formed on each substrate being connected to the respective bus conductors on the same substrate and;
• a photoformable black electrode comprising a conductive layer of at least one of RuO.sub.2, ruthenium based polynary oxide or mixtures thereof formed between the substrate and conductor electrode arrangement.
