The plasma display panel includes a front substrate, a rear substrate opposite the front substrate, a barrier rib that is positioned between the front substrate and the rear substrate to provide a discharge cell, a seal layer that attaches the front substrate to the rear substrate, and an exhaust hole that is formed on the rear substrate in a portion between the barrier rib and the seal layer. The exhaust hole is positioned in a portion overlapping an active area along a shorter side or a longer side of the rear substrate.
