Plasma display device with flexible circuit boards and connectors

Abstract

A plasma display device has a pair of substrates having electrodes and terminals provided at ends of the electrodes. Driving circuits supply a driving voltage to the electrodes via flexible printed circuit boards to emit light. Connectors are detachably attached to the substrate. The connector includes a housing and terminal members disposed in the housing, with the terminal member having a U-shaped cross-sectional shape, so that a first portion as one leg of the “U” contacts the terminal of the electrode and a second portion as another leg of the “U” contacts the conductor of the flexible connecting member. The terminals of the electrodes are arranged in a staggered manner at the end of the substrate.
