Mounting structure of cover plate and plasma display module including the same

A plasma display module comprising:

• a plasma display panel displaying an image;
• a circuit board driving the plasma display panel;
• a chassis supporting the plasma display panel and the circuit board;
• a signal transmission member electrically connecting the circuit board to the plasma display panel;
• an IC chip mounted on the chassis and connected to the signal transmission member;
• a cover plate facing the IC chip and protecting the signal transmission member and the IC chip;
• and
• a connection member comprising:
• a center portion maintaining a constant distance between the cover plate and the chassis,
• a wing portion supporting the cover plate, and
• a head portion fixing the cover plate to the chassis.

A plasma display module comprising:

• a chassis;
• an IC chip mounted on the chassis;
• a cover plate disposed near the IC chip and conducting heat from the IC chip, the cover plate having an engagement hole;
• and
• a connector having a first end engaging the chassis and a second end, the second end comprising:
• a first tapered portion to guide the second end into the engagement hole,
• a wing portion to engagingly support the cover plate, and
• a second tapered portion to urge a side of the engagement hole toward the wing portion to maintain the cover plate at a predetermined distance from the chassis.
