The present invention discloses a plasma display panel and method for manufacturing the same wherein the quality of an image can be improved by preventing an erroneous discharge. A plasma display panel having a number of discharge cells according to an embodiment of the present invention includes barrier ribs by which a discharge space is defined between an upper substrate and a lower substrate; and an oxide film of a low dielectric constant formed on each of the barrier ribs. A method for manufacturing a plasma display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: forming barrier ribs on a lower substrate so that a discharge space is defined by the barrier ribs between an upper substrate and a lower substrate; and forming an oxide film of a low dielectric constant on each of the barrier ribs. According to a PDP and method for manufacturing the same of the present invention, since an erroneous discharge does not occur, the quality of an image of a plasma display panel is improved.
