A plasma display panel is formed with a plurality of partitions that include a plurality of main parts and a plurality of subparts that can extend from an end part of one or more of the plurality of main parts in a direction perpendicular to the main parts, to thereby provide an end part that is wider than a central part of the partition. The increased size of the end parts prevent swellings that may occur during the production process. Additionally, as part of the method of forming the partitions, the end parts of the partitions can be further partially heated to a temperature higher than a softening point of the partition material, for example, by an application of energy from a laser beam to further address the swelling problem.
A plasma display panel (PDP) comprising:
A plasma display panel (PDP) production method that includes (a) a partition forming step for forming a plurality of partitions on a surface of a first substrate, on which a plurality of first electrodes are also arranged in parallel, and (b) a positioning step for having the first substrate and a second substrate face each other so as to have a matrix formed by the plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes which are arranged on a surface of the second substrate,
