By preventing the springing up or the swelling upwards of the barrier rib ends, there is provided a plasma display which does not show erroneous discharge at the ends. Furthermore, there is provided a plasma display which has uniform light emitting characteristics over the entire face. The plasma display of the present invention can be used for large-size televisions and computer monitors.
The plasma display of the present invention is a plasma display in which a dielectric layer and stripe-shaped barrier ribs are formed on a substrate, and it is characterized in that there are inclined regions at the lengthwise direction ends of said barrier ribs and, furthermore, the height (Y) of the inclined regions and the length (X) of the base of the inclined regions are within the range 0.5 ≤ X/Y ≤ 100 . Moreover, the method of the present invention for manufacturing a plasma display is characterized in that the aforesaid stripe-shaped barrier ribs are formed via a process in which a pattern of stripe-shaped barrier ribs having inclined regions at the ends is formed on a substrate using a barrier rib paste comprising inorganic material and organic component, and a process in which said barrier rib pattern is fired.
