Abstract

A plasma display device including a chassis base, a plasma display panel coupled with a panel mounting surface of the chassis base, and reinforcing members that are integrally formed with the chassis base so as to project from a surface of the chassis base. The reinforcing members may be composed of bracket members, and the reinforcing members may project toward an opposite side of the panel mounting surface of the chassis base.

Claims

1. A plasma display device, comprising:

a chassis base;

a plasma display panel coupled with a panel mounting surface of the chassis base; and

reinforcing members that are integrally formed with the chassis base and projecting from a surface of the chassis base,

wherein each reinforcing member comprises a first side and a second side that each protrude from the chassis base, the second side being separated from the first side by an air gap, and a third side contacting the first side and the second side.

2. The plasma display device of claim 1, wherein the reinforcing members are composed of bracket members formed by drawing the chassis base.

3. The plasma display device of claim 1, wherein the reinforcing members project toward an opposite side of the panel mounting surface of the chassis base.

4. The plasma display device of claim 1, wherein at least two sides of each reinforcing member project from a circuit mounting surface at a predetermined height

5. The plasma display device of claim 1, wherein the chassis base is formed in a substantially rectangular shape having a pair of long sides and a pair of short sides, the reinforcing members being elongated substantially parallel with a long side direction of the chassis base.

6. The plasma display device of claim 1, further comprising:

circuit board assemblies that are mounted on an opposite side of the panel mounting surface of the chassis base,

wherein the reinforcing members are formed in regions of the chassis base not overlapping the circuit board assemblies.

7. The plasma display device of claim 1, further comprising:

two or more circuit board assemblies that are mounted on an opposite side of the panel mounting surface of the chassis base,

wherein the reinforcing members are formed between adjacent circuit board assemblies

8. The plasma display device of claim 1, wherein the reinforcing members are disposed within edges of the chassis base.

9. A plasma display device, comprising:

a chassis base;

a plasma display panel coupled with a panel mounting surface of the chassis base; and

reinforcing members that are integrally formed with the chassis base and projecting from a surface of the chassis base,

wherein the reinforcing members project toward an opposite side of the panel mounting surface of the chassis base, and the reinforcing members are recessed in the panel mounting surface of the chassis base.
