Abstract
The present invention relates to a plasma display device. The plasma display device comprises a rectangular plasma display panel for displaying images, a rectangular side frame installed along four sides of the plasma display device, a rectangular rear plate vertically installed on a rear aspect of the four sides of the side frame for protecting the plasma display device, and a supporting rack installed inside the side frame between the plasma display panel and the rear plate comprising a top beam, a bottom beam, and a plurality of vertical columns vertically installed between the top beam and bottom beam. The vertical spaces between neighboring vertical columns and the vertical spaces between the vertical columns and the left and right bars of the side frame are heat dissipation channels for directing the heat generated from the rear side of the plasma display panel upward and away from the plasma display device.
