PDP having a firing electrode

A plasma display panel comprising:

• a first bus electrode comprising a plurality of bus electrodes;
• a second bus electrode comprising a plurality of bus electrodes and formed on the opposite side of the first bus electrode;
• a plurality of barrier ribs forming a plurality of discharge cells;
• a plurality of first firing electrodes connected with a bus electrode adjacent to the center of the discharge cells among the bus electrodes of the first bus electrode, and protruded to the second bus electrode, wherein each first firing electrode comprises a first protrusion electrode perpendicularly connected to the first firing electrode, and wherein the first protrusion electrodes are separated from each other;
• and
• a plurality of second firing electrodes connected with a bus electrode adjacent to the center of the discharge cell among the bus electrodes of the second bus electrode, and protruded to the first bus electrode,
• wherein the first firing electrodes and the second firing electrodes are directly over the barrier ribs, and wherein discharges are initiated between the first firing electrodes and the second firing electrodes.
