A plasma display panel having an active area and a non-display area positioned at the outside of the active area wherein dummy electrodes positioned within said non-display area have a narrower gap between electrodes than sustain electrode pairs positioned within said active area. Accordingly, the plasma display panel has a narrower gap between electrodes of the dummy electrodes than the sustain electrode pair within the active area and has a narrow electrode width thereof, so that it can easily generate a discharge between the dummy electrodes well and reduce a generation of electric charges accumulated onto the dummy electrodes. As a result, the plasma display panel can prevent an abnormal discharge to improve a picture quality.
