  • Publication number: 20060133017
    Abstract: In a chassis base assembly, a method of manufacturing the chassis base assembly, and a Plasma Display Panel (PDP) assembly, the method includes: preparing a raw flat panel for forming the chassis reinforcing member; forming ribs having a predetermined depth by processing the raw flat panel for forming the chassis reinforcing member using a drawing process; and forming an outer shape of the chassis reinforcing member using a notching process. There are no disconnections at corners where the horizontal and vertical reinforcing members meet to each other since the chassis reinforcing members are formed as a unitary body by a drawing process. Accordingly, stress concentrations at corners of the chassis reinforcing members are prevented, thereby increasing the strength of the chassis base assembly.
