A substrate structure for a plasma display panel (PDP), a method of manufacturing a PDP substrate structure of the PDP, and a PDP including the PDP substrate are provided. The PDP substrate structure includes a substrate, an electrode on the substrate and including a first layer and a second layer, the second layer including an aluminum (Al) material, the first layer being between the substrate and the second layer and including a conductive material, the first layer having lower specific resistance than that of the second layer; and a light absorbable layer on the substrate. The light absorbable layer is an oxidization product of the conductive material of the first layer.
