A plasma display panel (PDP) that has improved discharge efficiency and luminance includes: a first substrate and a second substrate which are provided to oppose each other; barrier ribs which are provided between the first and second substrates and by which a plurality of discharge cells are partitioned; a phosphor layer formed in each of the discharge cells; address electrodes formed either on the first substrate or on the second substrate; and display electrodes formed on the first substrate to extend in a direction intersecting with the address electrodes. The display electrodes include: at least a pair of first display electrodes which are provided close to both peripheral portions of each discharge cell; and a second display electrode provided between the first display electrodes to cross the discharge cell, the second display electrode facing the first display electrodes on both sides to form at least two discharge gaps within each discharge cell.
