Apparatus of driving plasma display panel

Abstract

A temperature of the plasma display panel is detected by a temperature sensor. An apparatus includes a display panel, a plate disposed adjacent to a rear surface of the panel, and a board disposed substantially parallel to the plate. A temperature sensor is formed on the board, and the temperature sensor is disposed between the plate and the board.

1 . An apparatus for driving a plasma display panel, comprising:
 a display panel;   a plate disposed adjacent to a rear surface of the panel;   a board disposed substantially parallel to the plate; and   a temperature sensor formed on the board, wherein the temperature sensor is disposed between the plate and the board.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a heat carrying sheet disposed between the plate and the temperature sensor.   
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the heat carrying sheet has a heat transfer coefficient more than approximately 1.5 W/mk. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the heat carrying sheet is attached to the temperature sensor. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a molding product formed between the plate and the board configured to fix the board to the plate.   
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a tape formed between the plate and the molding product configured to fix the molding product to the plate; and   one or more protrusions formed between the molding product and the board configured to fix the molding product to the board.   
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 one or more holes formed on the board, wherein the one or more protrusions of the molding product corresponds to the one or more holes and is inserted into the holes.   
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the molding product maintains a substantially uniform gap between the plate and the board. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a controller connected to the board.   
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the controller is connected to the board through a cable. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a connector formed on the board configured to connect the cable to the board.   
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a temperature detected by the temperature sensor is substantially indicative of a temperature of the display panel.
