Abstract:
1. A plasma tube array-type display sub-module comprising: a back-side supporting sheet having a plurality of address electrodes formed thereon; a front-side flexible supporting sheet having a plurality of display electrodes formed on a rear surface thereof; and an array comprising a plurality of plasma tubes each filled with a discharge gas, arranged in parallel and held between the back-side supporting sheet and the front-side flexible supporting sheet, wherein an electromagnetic wave shield layer is formed on a front surface over the array of the plasma tubes of the front-side flexible supporting sheet so as to extend beyond an effective display region of the plasma tube array-type display sub-module, at least one further functional layer is formed on the electromagnetic wave shield layer only in the effective display region of the plasma tube array-type display sub-module, and at least one end of the front-side flexible supporting sheet with a lead out portion of the display electrodes and the electromagnetic wave shield layer is bent toward a back direction along side ends of the effective display region through a gap between the plasma tube array-type display sub-module and another sub-module adjacent to the plasma tube array-type display sub-module, the electromagnetic wave shield layer having a connecting portion in a back-to-back arrangement with respect to an electromagnetic wave shield layer of the another sub-module.
