Abstract

A flat panel display apparatus includes a plasma display panel, a power supply substrate, a signal processing substrate, a Y sustaining substrate, and an X sustaining substrate. The power supply substrate, the signal processing substrate, the Y sustaining substrate and the X sustaining substrate are arranged at a back of the plasma display panel. When viewing the plasma display panel from the back, the power supply substrate is arranged at a center portion of the plasma display panel, the Y sustaining substrate is arranged at one of a left and right side of the plasma display panel, the X sustaining substrate is arranged at the other of the left and right side, and the signal processing substrate is arranged under the X sustaining substrate. A circuit substrate other than the power supply substrate, the Y sustaining substrate, and the X sustaining substrate is arranged under the power supply substrate.

Claims (21)

1. A flat panel display apparatus, comprising:

a plasma display panel;

a power supply substrate constructing a power supply for operating the plasma display panel;

a signal processing substrate being connected with a control panel to operate the apparatus and processing a video signal displayed on the plasma display panel;

to a Y sustaining substrate for driving the plasma display panel;

an X sustaining substrate for driving the plasma display panel;

wherein the power supply substrate, the signal processing substrate, the Y sustaining substrate and the X sustaining substrate are arranged at a back of the plasma display panel;

when viewing the plasma display panel from the back thereof, the power supply substrate is arranged at a center portion of the plasma display panel, the Y sustaining substrate is arranged at one of a left side and a right side of the plasma display panel, the X sustaining substrate is arranged at the other of the left side and the right side, and the signal processing substrate is arranged under the X sustaining substrate; and

a circuit substrate other than the power supply substrate, the Y sustaining substrate, and the X sustaining substrate is arranged under the power supply substrate.

2. The flat panel display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the other circuit substrate is a HDD unit.

3. The flat panel display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein air entering the flat panel display from a center lower portion of the flat panel display is supplied to the power supply substrate without going though the signal processing substrate.

4. The flat panel display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an address driver is mounted in a lower portion at the back of the plasma display panel.

5. A flat panel display apparatus, comprising:

a plasma display panel;

a power supply substrate constructing a power supply for operating the plasma display panel;

a processing substrate having a central processing unit,

a Y sustaining substrate and an X sustaining substrate for driving the plasma display panel;

wherein the power supply substrate, the processing substrate, the Y sustaining substrate and the X sustaining substrate are arranged at a back of the plasma display panel;
