Provided is a plasma display panel including a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other, barrier ribs that define a plurality of discharge cells, address electrodes which extend across the discharge cells and a plurality of pairs of sustain electrodes which cross the address electrodes and generate a sustain discharge. Two sustain electrodes of a sustain electrode pair each include two or more electrode portions and connection portions for electrically coupling the electrode portions. Each electrode portion has a line width B, and each connection portion has a line width S. The ratio of the line width S to the line width B is 0.20.ltoreq.S/B.ltoreq.0.92 to balance improved brightness with reduced power consumption for the plasma display panel. Further, the sustain electrode can be manufactured so the electrode portions are formed integrally with the connection portions to facilitate ease of manufacturing.
