To provide a plasma display panel which improves the write characteristics, luminous luminance, and luminous efficiency and which has a longer life. On a back glass substrate, data electrodes are formed in the substrate column direction. Over the data electrodes, a dielectric layer is formed. On the dielectric layer, scan electrodes are formed in a substrate row direction. Over the scan electrodes, a dielectric layer is formed. On the dielectric layer, partitions are formed in the substrate column direction. On the dielectric layer including the partitions, a protection layer and a fluorescent material layer are formed. On the other hand, on a front glass substrate, common electrodes and bus electrodes electrically connected to the common electrodes are formed in the substrate row direction so as to be opposed to the scan electrodes. Over the common electrodes and the bus electrodes, a dielectric layer and a protection layer are formed.
