Surface discharge plasma display panel

A surface discharge plasma display panel of the three-electrode-type, comprising:

• a plurality of display electrode pairs arranged in parallel on a front substrate, display electrodes of one display electrode pair being separated by a discharge slit for surface discharge, and adjacent display electrode pairs being separated by reverse slits where a discharge does not occur, and
• a plurality of address electrodes and a plurality of strip-shaped phosphors arranged perpendicular to the display electrode pairs on a rear substrate, the surface discharge plasma display panel further including:
• a belt-shaped light shielding film arranged in the reverse slits between adjacent display electrode pairs on the front substrate and partly overlapping the display electrodes, the light shielding film shielding visibility of the phosphors on the rear substrate at the reverse slits.
