A plasma display panel (PDP) includes a front panel, a rear panel disposed parallel to the front panel, side dielectric layers formed of a dielectric material and disposed between the front panel and the rear panel so as to define a plurality of discharge cells, front discharge electrodes disposed inside the side dielectric layers, and spaced from side surfaces of the discharge cells toward interiors of the side dielectric layers by an electrode-burying depth, rear discharge electrodes disposed inside the side dielectric layers and at a rear side of the first discharge electrodes, and spaced apart from the side surfaces of the discharge cells toward the interiors of the side dielectric layers by the electrode-burying depth, a plurality of phosphor layers corresponding to the discharge cells for emitting visible rays, the phosphor layers having different dielectric constants, and a discharge gas deposited in the discharge cells. An electrode-burying depth corresponding to discharge cells differs according to a magnitude of a dielectric constant of phosphor layers corresponding to the discharge cells.
