The present invention relates to a plasma display panel that can be maintained by expanding within the acceptable range the discharge occurs to the discharge gap between the scan electrodes and the sustain electrodes at the maximum to increase the luminous efficiency, suppress lowering power consumption increase the initial discharge voltage, And the first substrate and the second substrate The plasma display panel according to the invention are arranged opposite each other, address electrodes formed on the first substrate and the second substrate on the first electrodes are formed along a direction the address electrodes and the quadrature and the comprises a third electrode formed on the second substrate to, and parallel state between the second electrode and the first electrode and the second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode is convex on the opposite surface facing each other parts to form a short gap between the convex part formed. Address electrodes, dielectric layer, phosphor layer, the scan electrode, the sustain electrode, the intermediate electrode, the partition wall
