A plasma display panel using carbon nanotubes is provided. In the front panel of the plasma display panel, transparent electrodes are formed as strips on the glass substrate. Bus electrodes are each formed as strips along the outer edge on the upper surface of each of the transparent electrodes and in parallel to the transparent electrodes. A dielectric layer is formed on part of the glass substrate, parts of the transparent electrodes, and the bus electrodes. Carbon nanotube strips are aligned on the dielectric layer such that the carbon nanotube strips face the transparent electrodes. A protective layer is formed on part of the dielectric layer and the carbon nanotube strips. Accordingly, the secondary electron emission characteristic is improved, resulting in a high-quality display screen having a high luminous efficiency and a high contrast ratio.
