A plasma display panel includes a first substrate, and a second substrate opposing the first substrate. A plurality of address electrodes are formed on the first substrate along a first direction, and a plurality of barrier ribs are mounted between the first and second substrates and defining a plurality of discharge cells that are formed into a plurality of rows along a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. Non-discharge regions are formed between the respective rows of the discharge cells, and a plurality of transverse barrier ribs are formed along the second direction respectively within the non-discharge regions. Each of a plurality of phosphor layers is formed in a respective one of the discharge cells. Display electrodes are formed on the second substrate. At least one end of each of the transverse barrier ribs includes an annular branched segment.
