A flat plasma discharge display device comprises a first substrate (1) and a second substrate (2) which are provided opposite to each other, an address electrode group (13) having a plurality of address electrodes (A) arranged in parallel and formed on the second substrate (2) side, a first discharge maintaining electrode group (11) having a plurality of first discharge maintaining electrodes (S1) arranged in parallel and formed on the first substrate (1) side, and a second discharge maintaining electrode group (12) having a plurality of second discharge maintaining electrodes (S2) arranged in parallel and formed on the first substrate (1) side or the second substrate (2) side, the second discharge maintaining electrodes (S2) carrying out a discharge maintaining operation between the first discharge maintaining electrodes (S1). The first discharge maintaining electrodes (S1) and the second discharge maintaining electrodes (S2) are provided opposite to each other through at least a dielectric layer (3), and the first discharge maintaining electrodes (S1), the second discharge maintaining electrodes (S2) and the address electrode (A) have main directions of extension thereof which are selected to be first and second directions (X,Y) intersecting each other. Consequently, a numerical aperture can be increased and a bright display is provided. <IMAGE> |
