A plasma display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate
facing each other; barrier ribs forming discharge cells between the first
substrate and the second substrate; a phosphor layer formed on the inside
of the discharge cell; address electrodes formed on the first substrate
in a first direction; a first display electrode and a second display
electrode, both formed on the second substrate in a second direction
crossing the first direction, the display electrodes having at least a
pair of enlarged electrodes corresponding to each discharge cell; a first
igniting electrode and a second igniting electrode, each formed
protruding toward the center of the discharge cell at one end of the
extended electrode, over the barrier ribs and along the barrier ribs,
respectively from the first display electrode and the second display
electrode; a first dielectric layer, formed on the second substrate
covering the first display electrode and the second display electrode,
having a first opening formed between the first display electrode and the
second display electrode; and a second dielectric layer formed
independently covering the first and the second igniting electrodes
exposed to the first opening of the first dielectric layer.
