PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL AND PLASMA DISPLAY UNIT

摘要

A plasma display panel capable of reducing further a surface discharge voltage without additionally providing a process leading to cost ups, and contributing to an improvement in address discharge delay. The plasma display panel comprises an electrode group of an X electrode and a Y electrode consisting of adjacent transparent electrodes disposed in parallel to a front plate and forming gaps discharging at a specified gap and bus electrodes thicker than the transparent electrodes, lower in electric resistance, and electrically connected with the transparent electrodes, a dielectric layer and a protection layer covering the electrode group of the X electrode and the Y electrode, and an electrode group of address electrodes disposed on a rear plate disposed facing the front plate and in a direction perpendicular to the electrode group of the X electrode and the Y electrode, wherein the bus electrodes (16) are disposed continuously from the one end to the vicinity of the other end of the front plate (1) and away from the discharging edge of the transparent electrode (15), and the discharging edge of the transparent electrode (15) is provided with a separate bus (17) thicker than the transparent electrode (15) so as to let the dielectric layer (13) on the front plate (1) have a surface shape reflecting irregularities due to the thicknesses of the bus electrode (16) and the separation bus (17) on the front plate (1), whereby it is possible to form a recess (18) due to the thickness of the separation bus (17) in a discharge slit portion.
