A plasma display panel (PDP) is made of front panel ( 2 ) and a rear panel. The front panel includes display electrodes ( 6 ), dielectric layer ( 8 ), and protective layer ( 8 ) that are formed on front glass substrate ( 3 ). The rear panel includes electrodes, barrier ribs, and phosphor layers that are formed on a rear glass substrate. The front panel and the rear panel are faced with each other, and the peripheries thereof are sealed to form a discharge space therebetween. Display electrodes ( 6 ) includes metal electrodes ( 4 b , 5 b ) each containing at least silver and binding glass. The binding glass of black electrodes ( 41 b , 51 b ) and white electrodes ( 42 b , 52 b ) constituting metal bus electrodes ( 4 b , 5 b ) contains at least bismuth oxide and has a softening point exceeding 550° C. |
