The analytical solution of Laplace's equation with a symmetric potential profile has been obtained
for investigating the breakdown criteria between the sustaining electrodes in the coplanar AC-type plasma
display panel. Using this solution, Paschen's Law has been analyzed along the various discharge paths
in the panel space using various sustaining electrode gap distances.
