The present invention provides a plasma display device having an even and homogeneous
dielectric layer and permitting a small luminance change over time. The plasma
display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed facing an
inside of the first substrate so as to form a hermetically sealed discharge space
therebetween, at least one pair of discharge sustain electrodes which are formed
inside the first substrate 11 and forming a discharge gap therebetween,
and the dielectric layer formed inside the first substrate so as to cover the discharge
sustain electrodes. The dielectric layer has a low degassing film such that a total
amount of degassing when increasing a temperature from room temperature to 1000
C. has hydrogen molecules not exceeding 11020 particles/cm3
and water not exceeding 51020 particles/cm3.
