A plasma display panel and a method for manufacturing the same ate provided. The plasma display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a drive device. The first substrate includes at least one address electrode, a dielectric layer, phosphors, and at least one barrier rib. The second substrate may be bonded to the first substrate with the at least one barrier ribs between the first and second substrates. The second substrate includes at least one pair of sustain electrodes, a dielectric layer, and a protective layer including a single crystal magnesium oxide nano powder. The drive device provides at least one of a ramp-up or a ramp-down waveform, wherein at least one of (1) the ramp-up waveform has a different peak voltage based on the temperature of the plasma display panel or (2) the ramp-down waveform has a different lowest voltage based on the temperature of the plasma display panel.
