Abstract
In a scan electrode (2), the widths of transparent electrodes (2b) vary depending on colors so that the relation of the widths (WR0, WG1, WB1) of the transparent electrodes (2bR, 2bG, 2bB) in the Y direction may become WB1>WR0>WG1. Similarly, in a sustain electrode (3), the widths of transparent electrodes (3b) vary depending on colors so that the relation of the widths (WR0, WG1, WB1) of the transparent electrodes (3bR, 3bG, 3bB) in the Y direction may become WB1>WR0>WG1. With this variation in width, a plasma display panel capable of setting the color temperature of white to a proper value can be obtained without control of input gains which would invite deterioration in the number of tones.
