A plasma display panel, including a front substrate, a rear substrate facing the front substrate, barrier ribs formed of a dielectric material to define discharge cells between the front substrate and the rear substrate, front discharge electrodes and rear discharge electrodes located in the barrier ribs for inducing discharge in the discharge cells, phosphor layers located in a plurality of first grooves formed on the front substrate, discharge gas in the discharge cells, and black matrix layers in the barrier ribs interposed between discharge cells. Accordingly, the luminous efficiency and brightness increases, phosphor layer deterioration is reduced, and flickering due to light interference is prevented.
