The luminous characteristics of the LDP (Long Discharge Path: 500 μm)‐PDP with a ridged front dielectric layer were investigated, where the ridged front dielectric layer means that the dielectric layer between the sustain electrodes was etched out completely using the Sand‐blasting process. In the LDP‐PDP of which the main discharge is produced along the address electrode, the higher luminance was obtained due to the improved visible transmittance in the ridged front dielectric layer, thereby contributing to improving the luminous efficiency of a LDP‐PDP with a ridged front dielectric layer. As a result, it was observed that the luminance of the LDP‐PDP with a ridged front dielectric layer increased about 16∼17 %, when compared to that of the LDP‐PDP cell with a conventional dielectric layer, whereas the corresponding luminous efficiency was improved about 12∼14 % due to the slight increase in the discharge current.
