A plasma display panel (PDP) is made of front panel ( 2 ) and rear panel ( 10 ). The front panel includes display electrodes ( 6 ), dielectric layer ( 8 ), and protective layer ( 8 ) that are formed on glass substrate ( 3 ). The rear panel includes address electrodes ( 12 ), barrier ribs ( 14 ), and phosphor layers ( 15 ) that are formed on rear glass substrate ( 11 ). The front panel and the rear panel are faced with each other, and the peripheries thereof are sealed to form discharge space ( 16 ) therebetween. Primary dielectric layer ( 13 ) is provided to cover address electrodes ( 12 ), and barrier ribs ( 14 ) are formed on primary dielectric layer ( 13 ). Primary dielectric layer ( 13 ) is made of dielectric glass containing at least bismuth oxide and having a softening point exceeding 550° C. |
