Chassis base assembly, method of manufacturing the chassis base assembly and plasma display panel (PDP) assembly using the chassis base assembly

A plasma display assembly comprising:

• a panel assembly having a front panel and a rear panel facing the front panel;
• a chassis base adapted to support the panel assembly;
• a drawn unitary chassis reinforcing member attached to a surface of the chassis base;
• a driving circuit unit attached to the chassis base;
• a plurality of flexible printed cables each including one end thereof being electrically connected to respective electrode terminals of the panel assembly and another end thereof being electrically connected to a connector of the driving circuit unit, the plurality of flexible printed cables being adapted to transfer electrical signals therebetween;
• and
• a case adapted to accommodate the panel assembly, the chassis base, the driving circuit unit, and the plurality of flexible printed cables.

A method of manufacturing a chassis base assembly, the method comprising:

• preparing a raw flat panel for forming the chassis reinforcing member;
• forming ribs having a predetermined depth by processing the raw flat panel for forming the chassis reinforcing member using a drawing process;
• and
• forming an outer shape of the chassis reinforcing member using a blanking process.
