A plasma display panel is provided which includes a first panel and a
second panel, a gas exhaust port and a gas exhaust tube. The first panel
and the second panel are attached to each other such that discharge cells
are formed and an image can be generated through a gas discharge within
the discharge cells. The gas exhaust port is formed near at least one
edge of the first panel and defines a passageway for communicating with
the discharge cells. The gas exhaust tube is provided near an outer edge
of the first panel in which the gas exhaust port is formed and
communicates with the discharge cells via the gas exhaust port. The gas
exhaust port and the gas exhaust tube are disposed such that the center
lines of each are not aligned with each other.
