Plasma display module

Abstract

A plasma display module that can reduce noise is provided. The plasma display module includes a plasma display panel (PDP) that displays images, a driving apparatus driving the plasma display panel, a chassis supporting the plasma display panel and the driving apparatus. The chassis is disposed between the plasma display panel and the driving apparatus. A vibration reduction unit is disposed on a portion of a non-display are of the plasma display panel. The vibration reduction unit effectively removes noises generated during the operation of the plasma display panel.
