PLASMA DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A plasma display device has a plasma display panel (PDP), a first drive circuit, and a first flexible cable. The PDP has a first substrate with a plurality of first electrodes which is extended in a first direction and a second substrate facing the first substrate through a discharge space. The second substrate has a first chamfered portion at one of marginal portions along a second direction intersecting the first direction. For example, one end of the first flexible cable is connected to the first electrodes on the periphery of the side on which the first chamfered portion is provided out of the periphery of the PDP. Further, the other end of the first flexible cable is connected to the first drive circuit on the inside of the periphery of the PDP without requiring the first flexible cable to be folded back and without requiring the first flexible cable to be in contact with the second substrate. This makes it possible to provide a flat PDP device.
