Abstract: In a plasma display module, a flexible substrate is strengthened and a mounting structure for alleviating stresses is provided, thereby preventing the metal fatigue of wirings. In a PDP (Plasma Display Panel) module, a metal plate and a flexible substrate constituting a driver module are provided. On the flexible substrate, wirings not connected to electrodes of the panel (independent linear patterns) are disposed on an outer side of wirings and near an edge portion of the metal plate to which the flexible substrate is attached.

K number of electrode wire groups out of the N number of electrode wire groups (K<N) are connected via leading lines to the first connecting terminal groups respectively, N?K number of electrode wire groups out of the N number of electrode wire groups are connected via the leading lines to the second connecting terminal groups respectively, and the K number of electrode wire groups and the N?K number of electrode wire groups are arranged alternately or in alternate sets of a plurality of groups.

Abstract: A plasma display apparatus includes an IC that operates with a power supply voltage, of which a difference between a ground potential and a power supply potential is substantially more than 50 V, a ceramic condenser disposed in a vicinity of the IC and coupled between the ground potential and the power supply potential of the IC, and a resistor connected in series with the ceramic condenser between the ground potential and the power supply potential.

Abstract: A PDP apparatus of low power consumption and without erroneous malfunctions is equipped with a sustaining circuit that prevents an on/off timing shift and deterioration of a sustaining pulse produced thereby. Phase adjusting circuits, which adjust the timing of the changing edge of the sustaining pulse, are provided for the sustaining circuit; the power recovery circuit is of improved efficiency; and power consumption is reduced by optimizing the timing of a changing edge of the sustaining pulse The circuit devices used in the sustaining circuits are classified according to delay times and sets of the circuit devices are selected so that the timing of a changing edge of the sustaining pulse falls within a predetermined allowance, and the selected sets of the circuit devices are set to the PDP.

Abstract: A plasma display apparatus has an electronic circuit module including a rigid substrate attached to a chassis thereof and a flexible substrate partially overlapped with the rigid substrate. The rigid substrate has chips and the flexible substrate has a first portion with apertures for exposing the chips and bonding pads and a second portion positioned on the outside of the rigid substrate. Bonding wires connect terminals of the chips with the bonding pads of the flexible substrate. A reinforcing pattern or a dummy pattern is provided in at least the first portion of the flexible substrate. The reinforcing pattern provides for rigidity for the first portion of the flexible substrate for accurate positioning of the bonding pads relative to the chips.
