Claim:
A plasma television comprising a casing having an approximately rectangular opening formed around a center of its front wall; a plasma display panel disposed in said casing with its display surface facing the opening; a frame member surrounding said plasma display panel and disposed in said casing; an optical filter fixed to said frame member; and a predetermined fixture to fix said optical filter to said frame member, wherein said plasma display panel is fixed, at a rear side, to a bracket that connects to a leg member standing almost vertically and supports almost whole of said plasma television at a predetermined height; said frame member is fixed to the bracket at a portion corresponding to each end of upper and lower portions of said bracket; said fixture is equipped with a first fixture that fixes each of the right and left edges of said optical filter and a second fixture that fixes each of the top and bottom edges of said optical filter, said fixture fixing said optical filter with required parallelism maintained with the display surface of said plasma display panel, wherein said first fixture comprises: an edge contact portion that contacts right and left front edge portions almost across a height of said frame member; a step forming portion that is an edge along a longitudinal direction of said edge contact portion, and bends almost vertically from an edge facing an inside of said frame member to form a predetermined step from said edge contact portion; and a filter contact portion that bends almost vertically toward an inside of said frame member from an edge along a longitudinal direction of a side that does not contact said edge contact portion of said step forming portion, and contacts right and left front edges of said optical filter, almost across the height of the optical filter, wherein said step forming portion is provided with an insert portion at both ends of said step forming portion that is formed on almost the same plane as said step forming portion, and projects in a direction opposite to a direction of forming a step from said edge contact portion, by a distance equal to a sum of a thickness of said contact portion and said frame member, and wherein said frame member has an elongated hole formed at each portion that faces said insert portion when the first fixture is installed, for passing said insert portion through it.
