Provided is a front-side filter which can be easily attached to a cover of a
display device, but is difficult to detach from the cover even after long term use and further provided is a PDP device including the same filter. The front-side filter includes a filter base having at least one function among a near-
infrared ray shielding function, and a
neon light shielding function, and an electromagnetic wave shielding function; and an antireflective layer with an edge pattern, formed on a side of the filter base in such a way that the entire edge portion or a part of the edge portion of the filter base is exposed through the edge pattern to provide a fixing means formed in the edge pattern. The
plasma display panel device includes a case, a cover for covering an upper surface of the case, a
driving circuit board enclosed by the case, a panel
assembly disposed on the
driving circuit board and enclosed by the case, and a front-side filter including a filter base having at least one function among a near-
infrared ray shielding function, and a
neon light shielding function, and an electromagnetic wave shielding function; and an antireflective layer with an edge pattern, formed on a side of the filter base in such a way that the entire edge portion or part of the edge portion of the filter base is exposed through the edge pattern to provide a fixing means formed in the edge pattern.
