Plasma display panel having trigger electrodes

A plasma display panel, comprising:

• a sustaining electrode pair formed on an upper substrate in such a manner to be positioned at the edges of a discharge cell;
• a trigger electrode pair, being positioned between the sustaining electrode pair, to cause a trigger discharge for deriving a sustaining discharge;
• and
• dielectric layers formed on the sustaining electrode pair and the trigger electrode pair to have a different thickness, wherein the dielectric layer on the trigger electrode pair is formed to have a larger thickness than the dielectric layer on the sustaining electrode pair such that a discharge current between the trigger electrode pair is decreased to form the majority of a discharge current between the sustaining electrode pair.

A plasma display panel, comprising:

• a sustaining electrode pair formed on an upper substrate in such a manner to be positioned at the edges of a discharge cell;
• a trigger electrode pair, being positioned between the sustaining electrode pair, to cause a trigger discharge for deriving a sustaining discharge;
• and
• dielectric layers formed on the sustaining electrode pair and the trigger electrode pair to have a different thickness, wherein the dielectric layer on the sustaining electrode pair is formed to have a larger thickness than the dielectric layer on the trigger electrode pair, thereby restraining a rise of a discharge initiating voltage and causing a sustaining discharge having a long discharge path between the sustaining electrode pair.

A plasma display panel, comprising:

• a trigger electrode pair formed at a second distance smaller than the first distance on the first dielectric layer;
• and
• a second dielectric layer formed to entirely cover the first dielectric layer and the trigger electrode pair.
