DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a plasma display device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a plasma display device having an image display function has been used as an image output means for many media. This plasma display device includes a plasma display main body and an input / output terminal box attached thereto.

[0003]

Conventionally, the input / output terminals of the plasma display main body are arranged on the back surface of the plasma display main body, so that the plasma display device is used when it is mounted close to a wall or mounted on a wall. There is a problem that the input / output terminal portion is not accessible or difficult to enter because the space between the input and output terminals is small. In addition, when the plasma display body was mounted at a high place, the input / output terminals could not be reached without using a ladder or a tripod. Furthermore, since the input / output terminals are arranged on the plasma display body, the type and number of input / output terminals cannot be easily changed.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and allows the input / output plug to be easily inserted / removed regardless of the state of the plasma display main body and the type of input / output signals. It is an object of the present invention to provide a plasma display device capable of easily adding or expanding input / output plugs according to the requirements.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a plasma display main body and an input / output terminal box separated from the plasma display main body, wherein the input / output terminal box is provided. It is characterized by being electrically connected to the plasma display body via a cable.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the input / output terminal box is fixed to the same wall as the plasma display main body.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the plasma display main body is mounted on a wall via a wall mounting unit.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a circuit board including a signal processing circuit and an input signal switching circuit is arranged inside the input / output terminal box.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the input / output terminal box is provided with a plurality of connectors so that one input / output terminal box can be connected to a plurality of plasma display bodies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a plasma display device according to the present invention mounted on a wall, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the plasma display device viewed obliquely from the rear, and FIG. 3 is a connection between the plasma display body and an input / output terminal box. FIG.

In FIG. 1, a plasma display main body 7 is mounted on a wall 2 via a wall mounting unit 20. On the other hand, the input / output terminal box 1 separated from the plasma display main body 7 is fixed to the same wall 2 by screws 3. And the input / output terminal box 1
Are electrically connected to the plasma display body 7 via the cable 5. A connector 6 as one terminal of the cable 5 is inserted into a back connector 9 arranged on the back of the plasma display main body 7 (FIG. 2), and a connector 4 as the other terminal of the cable 5 is connected to an input / output terminal box. 1 is inserted into the rear connector 10 arranged on the rear side (FIG. 3). 1, 2 and 3, it can be seen that the input / output terminal box 1 is fixed at an arbitrary position away from the plasma display main body 7.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the input / output terminal box shown in FIG.

A circuit board 1 is provided inside the input / output terminal box 1.
2 (indicated by phantom lines), and the circuit board 1
2 includes a signal processing circuit and an input signal switching circuit. A connector 8 (FIG. 1), which is a terminal portion of the signal line 13, is fitted to the terminal 11 of the circuit board 12.

In the above embodiment, the input / output terminal box 1 is realized by a fixing method using screws for convenience. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a method of hooking with a hook or a method of sticking or bonding with tape may be used. Absent.

The length of the cable 5 is not limited to that shown in FIGS.
Can be changed to an appropriate length in order to install the device at an arbitrary distance from the plasma display device 7.

Further, an input / output terminal box 1 having another type of input / output terminals can be separately prepared and connected to the plasma display device 7.

As shown in FIG. 5, the input / output terminal box 30 is provided with a plurality of (two in FIG. 5) connectors, so that one input / output terminal box can be connected to a plurality of plasma display devices. You can also connect.

[0019]

As described above, the plasma display device of the present invention includes a plasma display main body and an input / output terminal box separated from the plasma display main body, wherein the input / output terminal box is a cable. And is electrically connected to the main body of the plasma display through the above, so that the following excellent effects can be obtained. (1) The input / output terminal of the plasma display main body is separated from the plasma display main body as a box so that the input / output terminal can be arranged at an arbitrary position, thereby making it difficult to insert the input / output plug. (2) Since the input / output terminals of the plasma display main body are separated boxes, the number of cables coming out of the plasma display main body is reduced, and the back surface of the plasma display main body is made clear. (3) Providing several types of input / output terminal units in the form of separate boxes facilitates expansion according to the input / output signal form.
