Abstract
A Plasma Display Panel (PDP) displays images of high image quality by sufficiently exhausting an impurity gas and charging a discharge gas and by preventing cross talk from occurring between discharge cells. The PDP includes a transparent front substrate and a rear substrate facing the front substrate; a plurality of barrier ribs, arranged between the front and rear substrates, and oriented in a direction to define a plurality of discharge cells in which a discharge occurs; a plurality of electrodes adapted to receive electrical potentials to generate electric fields in the discharge cells; a phosphor layer arranged in the discharge cells; and a discharge gas contained within the discharge cells.

A Plasma Display Panel (PDP), comprising:
- a transparent front substrate and a rear substrate facing the front substrate;
- a plurality of barrier ribs, arranged between the front and rear substrates, and oriented in a direction to define a plurality of discharge cells in which a discharge occurs;
- a plurality of electrodes adapted to receive electrical potentials to generate electric fields in the discharge cells;
- a phosphor layer arranged in the discharge cells;
- a discharge gas contained within the discharge cells:
- a non-discharge area where the gas discharge does not occur, the non-discharge area being arranged between the discharge cells in a direction in which the barrier ribs extend;
- and
- a recess portion arranged on a portion of the barrier rib defining the non-discharge area.
A Plasma Display Panel (PDP), comprising:
- a transparent front substrate and a rear substrate facing the front substrate;
- a plurality of barrier ribs, arranged between the front and rear substrates, and oriented in a zigzag direction to define a plurality of discharge cells in which a discharge occurs;
- a plurality of electrodes adapted to receive electrical potentials to generate electric fields in the discharge cells;
- a phosphor layer disposed in the discharge cells;
- and
- a discharge gas contained within the discharge cells;
- wherein the discharge cells adjacent to each other in a direction in which the barrier ribs extend are eccentric with respect to each other;
- a non-discharge area where the gas discharge does not occur, the non-discharge area being arranged between the discharge cells in a direction in which the barrier ribs extend;
- and
- a recess portion arranged on a portion of the barrier rib defining the non-discharge area.
