A discharge panel capable of high-quality display by preventing erroneous discharge between adjacent lines in a sustaining electrode or the like. A sectional shape in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal directions of both a first display electrode (101a) and a second display electrode (101b) has a stepped shape, a film thickness of a discharge gap (Gap1) side portion is greater than that on a non-discharge gap side, the film thickness of the respective steps being specified as L1, L2, L3 (L1>L2>L3). Accordingly, a discharge start voltage on the discharge gap side is lower than that on the non-discharge gap side even when the discharge gap and the non-discharge gap have the same width geometrically, thereby reducing erroneous discharge between adjacent cells positioned on an adjacent lines.
