Patent ID: 7978153

Claim:
A plasma display device comprising: a plasma display panel; an X electrode drive circuit for driving a plurality of X electrodes of said plasma display panel; a Y electrode drive circuit for driving a plurality of Y electrodes of said plasma display panel; and an address electrode drive circuit for driving a plurality of address electrodes of said plasma display panel; a first connecting means for connecting each X electrode of said plasma display panel and said X electrode drive circuit; and a second connecting means for connecting each Y electrode of said plasma display panel and said Y electrode drive circuit, respectively; wherein current paths at the plasma display panel side of said at least one of said first connecting unit and second connecting unit are disposed in a U-shape, and folded in an upper part and a lower part in the periphery of said plasma display panel, respectively, and said current paths are connected to upper electrodes and lower electrodes of said plasma display panel, respectively, extend through an upper part and a lower part, and are sequentially connected to center electrodes of said plasma display panel, and at least one of said first connecting means and said second connecting means has a structure, in which: a current path that connects X electrodes or Y electrodes of said plasma display panel that are centrally located and correspond to the connecting means, and a corresponding said X electrode drive circuit or said Y electrode drive circuit, is longer than a current path that connects X electrodes or Y electrodes of said plasma display panel that are peripherally located and correspond to the connecting means, and said corresponding said X electrode drive circuit or said Y electrode drive circuit.
