Provided is a manufacturing method that allows even a PDP having high-definition cells to exhibit excellent image display performance with reduced power consumption by effectively preventing impurities from adhering to the protective layer. Specifically, in a pre-baking step, a back substrate 9 is baked at a pre-baking temperature. Here, a highest pre-baking temperature is set to be lower than a softening point of a sealing material. The back substrate 9 is superposed on a front substrate 2. Then, a sealing step is performed in a sealing atmosphere prepared by mixing a predetermined amount of a reducing gas with a non-oxidizing gas. The above enables the impurities attributed to organic components due to a sealing material paste to remain as low molecular components, whereby the impurities are evacuated and removed in an evacuating step performed after the sealing step. This prevents adherence of the impurities to the protective layer 8.
