A Plasma Display Panel (PDP) having a structure capable of preventing a permanent afterimage generated by damage to a protective film during a sustain discharge includes: front and rear substrates arranged to face each other; barrier ribs arranged between the front and rear substrates to partition discharge cells in combination with the front and rear substrates; a plurality of electrodes adapted to generate a discharge in the discharge cells; a plurality of X electrodes each including a transparent X electrode arranged at a rear side of the front substrate in the discharge cell to extend in one direction; a plurality of Y electrodes each including a transparent Y electrode arranged at a rear side of the front substrate in the discharge cell to be spaced apart from the X electrode by a gap and to extend to and be aligned with the transparent X electrode; opaque X and Y shield layers respectively arranged on one end surface of the transparent X and Y electrodes, the one end surfaces neighboring the gap; a first dielectric layer arranged to cover a rear surface of the front substrate, the X and Y electrodes, and the opaque X and Y shield layers; a protective layer arranged to coat a rear surface of the first dielectric layer; a phosphor layer arranged in each discharge cell; and a discharge gas filling in an inner space of each discharge cell.
