Abstract
A plasma display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate with discharge cells partitioned therebetween. First electrodes and second electrodes surround the discharge cells and are respectively disposed proximate to opposite ones of the first and second substrates. The first electrodes are connected to each other and the second electrodes are connected to each other in a first direction. Address electrodes are between and spaced apart from the first and second electrodes along the direction perpendicular to the planes of the first substrate and the second substrate, and are connected in a second direction crossing the first direction. The address electrodes also surround the discharge cells.
