A plasma display panel including address electrodes extending in a first direction, and scanning and sustain electrodes extending in a second direction, the electrodes corresponding to discharge cells. Each of the scanning and sustain electrodes includes a transparent electrode that extends toward the other of the scanning and sustain electrode, and over the discharge cell; a main bus electrode positioned adjacent to and parallel with a barrier rib member; and a sub-bus electrode disposed between the main bus electrode and the other of the scanning and sustain electrode. Some embodiments also include an intermediate electrode disposed between the scanning and sustain electrodes. Embodiments of the disclosed plasma display panel exhibit a reduced voltage drop over the transparent electrodes of the sustain electrodes and scanning electrodes, thereby permitting the generation of a sustain discharge at a lower voltage, and a reduced time for generating an address discharge light.
