Abstract
In a plasma display device in which a substrate contains a plurality of rows of sustain electrodes and scan electrodes, a terminal lead-out section of sustain electrodes is formed of a structure in which a common connection pattern is disposed at a location other than the effective display area of the panel, which provides all rows of sustain electrodes with a common connection. Furthermore, a plurality of connecting blocks, to which each of a plurality of flexible printed circuits (FPCs) is connected, are arranged at almost the same pitch to establish an electrical connection with the common connection pattern. A terminal lead-out section so structured can minimize differences in luminance on the panel caused by an uneven amount of current flow into the FPCs.
