To provide a method for forming electrodes and/or black stripes for a plasma display substrate, wherein display electrodes, bus electrodes and optionally black stripes for a plasma display panel are formed of the same material by the same dry step, whereby a clear image having reflection prevented, can be displayed on a PDP display device with a low load on the environment, at low costs, with low resistance, without erosion by a dielectric.A method for forming electrodes and/or black stripes for a plasma display substrate, which comprises applying a laser beam to a mask layer formed on a transparent substrate to form openings at areas corresponding to the respective patterns of display electrodes, bus electrodes and optionally black stripes, then continuously forming an antireflection layer to provide an antireflection effect over the entire surface and an electrode layer, and applying again a laser beam to peel off the mask layer and at the same time to remove an unnecessary thin film layer.
