The present invention relates to a plasma display panel, and more particularly, to the structure of a plasma display panel. The plasma display panel according to the present invention has a NIR shielding material included in any one of an upper dielectric layer, a protection film and an upper substrate. Therefore, NIR, which is radiated from the plasma display panel to the outside, can be shielded. As a result, in accordance with the present invention, a NIR shielding film can be obviated from the front filter, the plasma display panel can be made thin and the manufacturing cost can be saved.
