There is provided a PDP that can both prevent cross-talk between discharge cells and improve contrast, comprising a first substrate and a second substrate bonded to face each other; a plurality of discharge cells formed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of X electrodes formed between the first substrate and the second substrate and crossing the discharge cells; and a plurality of Y electrodes formed between the first substrate and the second substrate and crossing the discharge cells, wherein the discharge cells in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the X electrodes and the Y electrodes extend share the X electrodes with the adjacent discharge cells.
