PURPOSE: A radiation apparatus for PDP is provided to achieve a maximized radiation efficiency by radiating, through the use of an ultra light micro radiation apparatus, the heat produced during operation of the PDP. CONSTITUTION: A radiation apparatus comprises a panel for displaying image by an internal gas discharge; a radiation plate(3) coupled to the rear surface of the panel so as to absorb the heat produced during operation of PDP; and a thermoelectric element(13) having n and p-junction thermoelectric semiconductors(13a,13b) for absorbing heat produced around the panel. The thermoelectric semiconductors operating by DC current, are mounted to the rear surface of the radiation plate. The heat absorption is performed by either Peltier or Thomson effect.
