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 ( 9 ) that are formed on front glass substrate ( 3 ). The rear panel includes electrodes, barrier ribs, and phosphor layers that are formed on a 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. Each of display electrodes ( 6 ) contains at least silver. Dielectric layer ( 8 ) is made of first dielectric layer ( 81 ) that contains bismuth oxide covering display electrodes ( 6 ), and second dielectric layer ( 82 ) that contains bismuth oxide covering first dielectric layer ( 81 ). The content of bismuth oxide in second dielectric layer ( 82 ) is smaller than the content of bismuth oxide in first dielectric layer ( 81 ). |
