A plasma display panel having a reduced number of address electrodes to decrease power consumption while maintaining the same resolution is disclosed. First and second address electrodes are assigned to a pixel comprising three sub-pixels which are near one another. The first address electrode is assigned to two of the three sub-pixels and the second address electrode is assigned to the remaining sub-pixel. As a result, address electrode capacitance is reduced, and accordingly, cross-talk, power consumption, instantaneous power, and heat generation decrease significantly while maintaining the same display resolution.
