Ribs for defining pixel cells are formed in the shape of a lattice, and sustain
electrodes and scan electrodes are disposed near the ribs. The electrodes are spaced
apart in each pixel cell, and the sustain electrode and the scan electrode are
each cut away between pixel cells arranged in the row direction to provide each
pixel cell with individually separated electrodes. In addition, between pixel cells
adjacent to each other in the row direction, the sustain electrodes and the scan
electrodes are connected to each other by means of a sustain-side bus electrode
and a scan-side bus electrode, respectively. This makes it possible to provide
a high luminous efficiency.
