Plasma display panel and method for manufacturing the same

A plasma display panel (PDP) and the method for manufacturing the same. A method for manufacturing a plasma display panel includes forming electrodes along one direction on a substrate, applying the dielectric paste along the other direction perpendicular to the one direction of the electrodes on the substrate, drying the dielectric paste and firing the dried dielectric paste to form a dielectric layer. Only one swath is needed for the entire dielectric layer, saving time and production costs, while providing a superior quality layer. Accordingly, since the dielectric paste is applied along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the display electrodes, it is advantage that tack time and the number of cleaning the nozzle is reduced.
