A plasma display device having first and second substrates and a discharge gas
filled therebetween includes first and second electrodes extending parallel to
each other on a first substrate, and first and second discharge electrode parts
extending from the first and second electrodes, respectively, so as to oppose each
other. A discharge gap of a substantially constant width is formed between one
of the first discharge electrode parts and one of the second discharge electrode
parts, the ones opposing each other, the discharge gap being defined by first and
second edge parts of the ones of the first and second discharge electrode parts,
respectively. The first and second edge parts have lengths longer than widths of
the ones of the first and second discharge electrode parts, the widths being measured
in directions in which the first and second electrodes extend, respectively.
