Patent ID: 7091665

Claim:
A plasma display apparatus comprising: a panel including a front substrate and a rear substrate, at least said front substrate being transparent, placed opposite to each other to form a discharge space therebetween, and a plurality of electrodes provided to said front and rear substrates; a display driving circuit block having a signal inputting connector, said display driving circuit block for applying a signal to said panel to perform displaying thereon, and said display driving circuit being disposed on a chassis; an input signal circuit block detachably coupled to said display driving circuit block and adapted to receive a video signal from an external apparatus; and a housing for accommodating said panel, said display driving circuit block and said input signal circuit block, wherein said input signal circuit block is provided to the chassis, and includes: a case disposed substantially in parallel with said panel on the chassis and having a mounting port open to outside of said housing; and a block-unit having a signal outputting connector mounted detachably to said case via said mounting port, said signal outputting connector being detachably coupled to said signal inputting connector of said display driving circuit block when said signal outputting connector is mounted to said case, and having an input terminal adapted to be detachably coupled to a connection cable for coupling to the external apparatus, and wherein said block-unit has a guide plate disposed on a circuit board to which components of an input signal circuit are provided, and said guide plate is fitted to an inside wall of said case, to which said block-unit is mounted for positioning said block-unit.
