A plasma display panel includes first and second substrates facing each other and separated by a predetermined distance from each other, a plurality of address electrodes formed on a lower surface of the first substrate in a predetermined pattern, a first dielectric layer covering the address electrodes, a plurality of maintaining electrodes, each including first and second electrodes, formed on an upper surface of the second substrate at a predetermined angle with respect to the address electrodes of the first substrate, a plurality of black matrixes discontinuously formed between the maintaining electrodes in an alternating pattern one by one, a second dielectric layer formed on the second substrate covering the maintaining electrodes and the black matrixes, a plurality of partitions formed between the first and second substrates and defining discharge spaces therebetween, and red, green and blue fluorescent layers coated in the discharge spaces defined by the partitions. Thus, since the discontinued portions are formed at the black matrixes, which in turn are formed on the second substrate, the NA of any desired (particularly B) fluorescent layer area is increased so that the lowering of the light emission brightness of that particular fluorescent layer can be prevented. Therefore, the white balance property of an image can be improved.
