Plasma display panel having bus electrodes extending across areas of non-discharge regions
First Claim
1. A plasma display panel comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate opposing one another with a gap therebetween;
address electrodes on the second substrate;
barrier ribs between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier ribs comprising walls for a plurality of discharge cells and for a plurality of non-discharge regions;
a phosphor layer within each of the discharge cells; and
discharge sustain electrodes on the first substrate and extending in a direction crossing the address electrodes,wherein the non-discharge regions are in areas encompassed by discharge cell abscissas through centers of adjacent said discharge cells and discharge cell ordinates through centers of adjacent said discharge cells, the discharge cell ordinates being parallel with the address electrodes,wherein ends of the discharge cells gradually decrease in width along the extending direction of the discharge sustain electrodes as a distance from a center of a corresponding one of the discharge cells is increased along an extending direction of the address electrodes, andwherein the discharge sustain electrodes include bus electrodes extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the address electrodes and outside areas of the discharge cells but across areas of the non-discharge regions, and protrusion electrodes extending from each of the bus electrodes such that a pair of opposing said protrusion electrodes is in an area corresponding to one of the discharge cells.

Abstract
A plasma display panel includes first and second substrates opposing one another. Address electrodes are formed on the second substrate. Barrier ribs are mounted between the first and second substrates defining discharge cells and non-discharge regions. Phosphor layers are formed within each of the discharge cells. Discharge sustain electrodes are formed on the first substrate. The non-discharge regions are formed in areas encompassed by discharge cell abscissas and ordinates passing through centers of the discharge cells. Further, the discharge cells are formed such that ends thereof increasingly decrease in width as a distance from centers of the discharge cells is increased. The discharge sustain electrodes include bus electrodes that extend perpendicular to the address electrodes and outside areas of the discharge cells but across areas of the non-discharge regions, and protrusion electrodes formed extending from each of the bus electrodes.
