A plasma display device includes a plasma display panel, a chassis base coupled to the plasma display panel, a drive circuit coupled to the chassis base, a flexible printed circuit (FPC) couples the drive circuit to electrodes of the plasma display panel. An integrated circuit (IC) is mounted on a film structured in the form of a tape carrier package (TCP), and coupled to the FPC. An epoxy resin deposited in a connecting region where the driver IC is connected to wiring of the FPC is formed with an uneven area that includes indentations and protrusions formed substantially uniformly.

Plasma display device, TCP applied thereto, and method of manufacturing the TCP

A plasma display device may include a plasma display panel, a driving circuit portion for driving the plasma display panel, a connecter for electrically connecting electrodes of the plasma display panel with the driving circuit portion, and an interconnecter for electrically connecting the connecter with the plasma display panel. The interconnecter may include an adhesive layer, a plurality of conductive pellets, and a plurality of non-conductive pellets dispersed in the adhesive layer. The conductive pellets may be positioned substantially within a first region where the wiring of the connecter overlaps the electrodes of the plasma display panel. The non-conductive pellets may be positioned substantially at least at a second region other than the first region in the adhesive layer.
