A plasma display panel is provided. The plasma display panel includes a front substrate, scan electrodes and sustain electrodes that are positioned on the front substrate substantially parallel to each other, a rear substrate opposite the front substrate, a barrier rib on the rear substrate, and a black layer opposite the barrier rib. The black layer is positioned on the front substrate substantially parallel to the scan electrode and the sustain electrode. The black layer includes a first black layer between two adjacent scan electrodes and a second black layer between two adjacent sustain electrodes. An auxiliary electrode is positioned on the second black layer.
