Plasma display device

A plasma display device comprising:

• a plasma display panel (PDP) comprising first and second opposing surfaces, wherein the first surface is configured to display an image, and wherein the second surface comprises a pair of longer sides and a pair of shorter sides;
• first and second main frames respectively mounted on the pair of longer sides of the second surface of the PDP;
• first and second brackets spaced apart from each other, wherein each of the first and second brackets is configured to interconnect the first main frame and the second main frame;
• a sub-frame mounted to at least two of the first main frame, the second main frame, the first bracket, and the second bracket;
• a shield box mounted on at least two of the first main frame, the second main frame, and the sub-frame;
• and
• a printed circuit board assembly at least partially covered by the shield box.

A plasma display device comprising:

• a plasma display panel (PDP);
• and
• a chassis base configured to support the PDP, wherein the chassis base comprises:
• a plurality of main components spaced apart from each other and each main component mounted to a different portion of the PDP, respectively;
• and
• a connection structure interconnecting the plurality of main components so as to provide a support for the PDP,
• wherein the connection structure comprises:
• a bracket configured to interconnect at least two of the plurality of main components;
• and
• a sub-component mounted on at least one of the main components, the bracket, and the PDP, wherein the width of the sub-component is less than that of at least one of the plurality of main components.
