A Plasma Display Panel (PDP) displays images of high image quality by sufficiently exhausting an impurity gas and charging a discharge gas and by preventing cross talk from occurring between discharge cells. The PDP includes a transparent front substrate and a rear substrate facing the front substrate; a plurality of barrier ribs, arranged between the front and rear substrates, and oriented in a direction to define a plurality of discharge cells in which a discharge occurs; a plurality of electrodes adapted to receive electrical potentials to generate electric fields in the discharge cells; a phosphor layer arranged in the discharge cells; and a discharge gas contained within the discharge cells.
