Abstract
An improved structure of a plasma display apparatus is provided. At least one of an integrated circuit and a driving board is formed over an edge potion of a frame for supporting a plasma display panel. Thus, the plasma display apparatus is manufactured to be thin and light, and also its manufacturing cost decreases.
Claims8
A plasma display apparatus comprising:
- a plasma display panel comprising an electrode;
- a frame positioned over a rear surface area of the plasma display panel and having an edge portion that extends in a plane that is substantially normal to the rear surface area of the plasma display panel, the edge portion is positioned over an edge of the plasma display panel;
- a driving board configured to apply a signal to the electrode, the driving board being secured to the edge portion of the frame;
- an auxiliary frame coupled to the driving board, the auxiliary frame being positioned over the edge of the plasma display panel;
- an integrated circuit for controlling configured to control the signal applied to the electrode, the integrated circuit being coupled to the auxiliary frame;
- and
- a fastening member configured to fasten the driving board to the edge portion of the frame to facilitate positioning of the driving board and the integrated circuit over the edge portion of the frame,
- wherein the integrated circuit is positioned over the driving board,
- wherein the driving board is positioned between the auxiliary frame and the plasma display panel,
- wherein the auxiliary frame is positioned between the integrated circuit and the driving board,
- wherein the fastening member is positioned between the driving board and the edge portion of the frame, and
- wherein the driving board is separated from the edge portion of the frame by the fastening member.
