Abstract: A PDP flat panel display includes a front glass plate and a rear glass plate bonded to each other to form a number of display cells therebetween in a display area. Scan electrodes and sustain electrodes are formed on an inner, namely, rear surface of the front glass plate, and data electrodes are formed on an inner, namely, front surface of the rear glass plate. The rear glass plate includes an extension extending beyond the front glass plate, in an extending direction of the data electrodes. A heat dissipating conductor film is integrally formed on an inner, namely, front surface of the extension of the rear glass plate, and an integrated circuit chip of a driver integrated circuit for supplying a required voltage to the data electrodes is heat-conductively bonded on the heat dissipating conductor film.

Abstract: A reinforcing plate for reinforcing a flat panel is extended from the peripheral part of the flat panel. Driver ICs are mounted in a TAB structure on a flexible printed wiring board one end of which is connected to the flat panel by a TAB and the other end is provided on the extended part of the reinforcing plate. The driver ICs are fixed on the reinforcing plate by adhering with a heat-conductive adhesive transcription tape.

Abstract: A colored metallic pigment comprising a metallic pigment, a coloring pigment, and a thermally polymerized carboxylic acid having at least one double bond and at least two carboxylic groups prepared by the thermal polymerization of at least one double bond-containing carboxylic acid, the coloring pigment being chemically adsorbed on the surface of the metallic pigment via the thermally polymerized carboxylic acid. The colored metallic pigment may be coated with a polymer composed of a radical polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid and a monomer having at least three radical polymerizable double bond. A bright paint, bright ink and bright plastics which contain the colored metallic pigment are also disclosed.
