The present invention relates to an AC drive surface discharge type plasma
display panel having an isosceles delta array type pixel. The background
art has a problem of being apt to cause a wrong writing discharge and
having a narrow writing voltage margin. Then, in the present invention,
transparent electrodes for X electrode (T3, T4) in first and second pair
subpixel regions (PSPR1, PSPR2) of an isosceles delta array type pixel
(P1) are provided at portions farther away from a first write electrode
(Wj(B)) in an isolated subpixel region (ISPR). Specifically, a central
axis of the third transparent electrode (T3) along a vertical direction
(v) is positioned closer to an extending portion (WAE) of a second write
electrode (Wj(A)) from a vertical direction central axis of the first
pair subpixel region (PSPR1). Similarly, a vertical direction central
axis of the fourth transparent electrode (T4) is positioned closer to an
extending portion (WCE) of a third write electrode (Wj(C)) from a
vertical direction central axis of the second pair subpixel region
(PSPR2). The present invention is mainly used for a display device such
as a plasma television.
