The LCD module according to the present disclosure includes a liquid crystal cell and a mold frame accommodating the liquid crystal cell. The mold frame includes a support supporting the liquid crystal cell in a thickness direction of the liquid crystal cell and a guide for limiting movement of the liquid crystal cell in a planar direction of the liquid crystal cell. The guide includes a corner-part guide disposed to face a corner part on the corner part of at least one side of the liquid crystal cell, and an inner-part guide facing an inner part being a part of the side other than the corner part, and being adjacent to the corner-part guide with distance. A gap between the liquid crystal cell and the corner-part guide is larger than a gap between the liquid crystal cell and the inner-part guide.

A flat panel image display unit such as a plasma display device is provided having a structure of signal input terminals that is adaptable flexibly to a plurality of different kinds of video signals. The image display unit includes a flat display panel, a display drive circuit block, an input signal circuit block connected between the display drive circuit block and an external apparatus for outputting a video signal, and an enclosure for housing the above components. The input signal circuit block includes a plurality of different kinds of board blocks provided replaceably according to a plurality of different forms of signals. A casing member is placed inside the enclosure and is provided with an insertion opening for accepting insertion of any of the board blocks. A guide rail is for positioning the board block to a predetermined position. The plurality of guide rails are provided according to the board block of a smallest unit size.

Flat panel image display unit

A plasma display apparatus is equipped with a signal input terminal responsive to a user's application. The plasma display apparatus includes a panel including a pair of substrates, wherein at least one of the substrates is transparent. The substrates are placed opposite to each other to form a discharge space in between, and electrodes are provided to the substrate. The plasma display apparatus also includes a display driving circuit block, disposed on a chassis and equipped with at least one signal inputting connector which applies a signal to the panel to perform displaying, and an input signal circuit block detachable to the signal inputting connector of the display driving circuit block.

Plasma display apparatus

A method for manufacturing a plasma display apparatus includes bonding a panel to a sustaining board (chassis) with a sufficient bonding area. In a process of bonding the panel to the chassis, the panel is supported on the sustaining board (chassis) via a heat conducting sheet. Then the panel and the chassis are sandwiched between resilient pressuring boards, which are larger than the panel and the chassis. After that, a predetermined pressure is applied from at least one of the pressuring boards, thereby bonding the panel to the chassis via a heat conducting sheet.
