A gas discharge panel having (i) a plurality of cells arranged in a matrix between a pair of opposing substrates, the cells being filled with a discharge gas, and (ii) plural pairs of display electrodes arranged on a surface of one of the substrates so as to extend through the plurality of cells, each pair of display electrodes being composed of a sustain electrode and a scan electrode that define a main discharge gap therebetween. In such a gas discharge panel, each sustain electrode and scan electrode includes a plurality of line parts that extend in a row direction of the matrix. Furthermore, the main discharge gap and a line part gap between adjacent line parts are provided such that a discharge current waveform of the display electrodes has a single peak when the gas discharge panel is driven.
