A 
plasma display panel (PDP) includes a 
front panel, a rear panel disposed parallel to the 
front panel, first barrier ribs formed of a 
dielectric substance and disposed between the 
front panel and the rear panel to define a plurality of 
discharge cells, front 
discharge electrodes disposed inside the first barrier ribs so as to surround the 
discharge cells and spaced from the side surfaces of the discharge cells toward interiors of the first barrier ribs by an 
electrode-burying depth, rear discharge electrodes disposed inside the first barrier ribs so as to surround the discharge cells and spaced from the side surfaces of the discharge cells toward the interiors of the first barrier ribs by an 
electrode-burying depth at the rear side of the first discharge electrodes, a plurality of 
phosphor layers disposed inside the discharge cells for receiving 
ultraviolet rays and emitting visible rays, the 
phosphor layers having different 
dielectric constants, and a discharge gas filling the discharge cells. The 
electrode-burying depth corresponding to discharge cells in which 
phosphor layers having the lowest 
dielectric constant are formed is smaller than the electrode-burying depth corresponding to discharge cells in which phosphor layers having a relatively high dielectric constant are formed.
