Abstract

In the present invention, it is possible to implement a small size and light PDP apparatus by integrally forming a panel unit and a driving circuit unit on a single substrate. A panel unit(discharge cells) of the PDP is formed on one surface of a flat metallic substrate, and a driving circuit unit is formed on the other surface of the same. Namely, in the PDP apparatus having a panel unit formed of a plurality of discharge cells, and a driving circuit unit for supplying a power and signal to the panel unit, the PDP apparatus includes a metallic lower substrate, a first insulation layer formed on an upper surface of one side of the metallic lower substrate, an upper substrate formed opposite to the one side of the metallic lower substrate, a plurality of barriers formed between the metallic lower substrate and the upper substrate for defining a plurality of discharge spaces, and a second insulation layer formed on another surface of the metallic lower substrate and including the driving circuit unit thereon.
