US Patent 7391156 Plasma display panel

A plasma display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other to provide a discharge space between the first substrate and the second substrate, a scan electrode and a sustain electrode both provided on the first substrate, a dielectric layer for covering the scan electrode and the sustain electrode, and a protective layer provided on the dielectric layer. The protective layer includes MgO, at least one element of Si, Ge, C and Sn, and at least one element of fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh group elements of a periodic table. This plasma display panel performs stable discharge characteristics, such as a driving voltage, thereby displaying an image stably.
