A plasma display panel includes a plurality of row electrodes each extending in the row direction and arrayed in the column direction; a dielectric layer covering the plurality of row electrodes on the side of the internal surface of a front substrate; and a plurality of column electrodes each extending in the column direction and arrayed in the row direction on the side of the internal surface of a back substrate, which is opposed to the front substrate with a discharge space defined between the front and back substrates, to form, in the discharge space, unit light emitting areas at positions where the column electrodes intersect the row electrodes. The spaces between adjacent ones of the row electrodes constitute respective display lines. The peripheries of the unit light emitting areas are defined by separation walls. Each of the unit light emitting areas is partitioned, by a partition wall, into first and second discharge cells. The first discharge cells perform discharges in the respective spaces between the adjacent row electrodes, which constitute respective the display lines, while the second discharge cells perform discharges between a part of the row electrodes and the column electrodes. A communication part is formed between each pair of first and second discharge cells.
