(54) Plasma display panel


(57) An improved plasma display panel is provided that may reduce a discharge firing voltage while simultaneously improving discharge efficiency. The plasma display panel may include a first substrate (10) substantially paralleling an opposite second substrate (20) across a predetermined gap, wherein the gap is divided into a discharge cell (28). A phosphor layer (29) may be formed in the discharge cell. An address electrode (12) may be formed on the first substrate to extend along a first direction. A first electrode (15) and second electrode (16) may be formed on the first substrate, and a degree that a portion of at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode proximate the second substrate protrudes toward a center of the discharge cell may differ from a degree that another portion of the at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode proximate the first substrate protrudes toward the center of the discharge cell.
