Disclosed is a front filter attached to a front surface of a plasma
display panel, the front filter comprising: an antireflection coating for
preventing reflection of incident light from outside; an optical
characteristic film for improving optical characteristics of incident
light from the panel, by decreasing brightnesses of red (R) and green (G)
rays and by increasing brightness of blue (B) rays; an EMI shielding film
for shielding emission of electromagnetic wave; and an NIR blocking film
for blocking near infrared rays emitted from the panel, wherein,
transmittance of emitted light from the plasma display panel when the
emitted light transmits the antireflection coating, the optical
characteristic film, the EMI shielding film, and the NIR blocking film is
determined in dependence of wavelength of the emitted light, and wherein
transmittance of B rays at a wavelength of 454 nm is 50 80%,
transmittance of G rays at a wavelength of 525 nm is 40 80%,
transmittance of orange rays at a wavelength of 580 592 nm is 5 30%,
transmittance of R rays at a wavelength of 610 630 nm is 50 80%, and
transmittance of NIR at a wavelength of 850 950 nm is 1 10%.
