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.
