Plasma display panel having a bus electrode

A plasma display panel comprising:

• a front substrate on which a first electrode and a second electrode are positioned parallel to each other;
• a rear substrate on which a third electrode is positioned to intersect the first electrode and the second electrode;
• and
• a barrier rib positioned between the front substrate to partition a discharge cell,
• wherein:
• the first electrode and the second electrode are bus electrodes,
• the first electrode and the second electrode each include a plurality of line portions intersecting the third electrode, a plurality of projecting portions projecting from a line portion of the plurality of line portions, and a plurality of connecting portions connecting at least two line portions of the plurality of line portions to each other,
• each of the plurality of projecting portions includes first and second successively positioned projecting portions projecting in a direction toward the center of the discharge cell,
• each of the plurality of connecting portions includes a first connecting portion positioned in a straight line with the first projecting portion and a second connecting portion positioned in a straight line with the second projecting portion,
• an interval between two successively positioned line portions of the plurality of line portions is larger than an interval between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and
• a size of a portion of widths of the first and second projecting portions or the first and second tail portions is greater than a size of the widths of the first and second connecting portions.

• the plasma display panel is configured to supply a first signal with a gradually falling voltage to the first electrode and supply a second signal of a polarity direction opposite a polarity direction of the first signal to the second electrode during a pre-reset period prior to a reset period of at least one subfield of a frame, and
• after the plasma display panel supplies the first signal, the plasma display panel is configured to supply a third signal with a gradually rising voltage to the first electrode, the third signal including a first rising signal whose voltage gradually rises with a first slope and a second rising signal whose a voltage gradually rises with a second slope.
