Plasma display panel and method for manufacturing the same

A method of making a plurality of PDPs, comprising:

• forming a plurality of electrodes in a first direction on a substrate;
• applying a dielectric paste to the substrate in a direction perpendicular to the first direction by an application device and covering the plurality of electrodes, each portion of the substrate receiving only one layer of dielectric paste from only one swath of the application device;
• heat treating the dielectric paste to form a dielectric layer;
• and
• cutting the substrate with the electrodes and dielectric layer thereon into a plurality of pieces, each piece being used in a different PDP.
