Abstract
A plasma display panel that is adaptive for utilizing a radio frequency discharge. In the panel, a data is applied to a data electrode, and a scanning electrode is arranged perpendicularly to the data electrode. The scanning electrode causes an address discharge along with the data electrode by applying a scanning pulse. A radio frequency signal is applied to a radio frequency electrode, and a radio frequency reference electrode causes a radio frequency discharge along with the radio frequency electrode by applying a reference voltage of the radio frequency signal.
