Plasma display panel

A plasma display panel comprising:

• a front substrate;
• a plurality of row electrode pairs provided on the inner surface of the front substrate, said row electrode pairs being arranged in parallel with one another and extending in the row direction of the panel, with each electrode pairs forming a display line;
• a dielectric layer provided on the inner surface of the front substrate for covering the row electrode pairs;
• a rear substrate arranged in parallel with and space-apart from the front substrate, forming a discharge space therebetween;
• a plurality of column electrodes provided on the inner surface of the rear substrate;
• said column electrodes being arranged in parallel with one another and extending in column direction of the panel, in a manner such that at each intersection of a row electrode pairs with a column electrode there is formed a light emission unit;
• a partition wall assembly provided between the front substrate and the rear substrate, said partition wall assembly including a plurality of longitudinal partition walls and a plurality of lateral partition walls, thereby forming a lattice-like arrangement and thus dividing the discharge space into a plurality of discharge cells;
• wherein a plurality of light absorbing straps are formed on the inner surface of the front substrate, in positions corresponding to the longitudinal partition wall of the partition wall assembly.
