  • Patent number: 8094447
    Abstract: A display device includes a substrate having light emitting elements for display on a front surface; a substrate supporting body having an opening in the center and positioned on the back surface side of the substrate to support a peripheral region of the substrate; a case body positioned on the back surface side of the substrate supporting body and covering a part of the center opening; a fan unit arranged in the case body; a wind path plate arranged between the fan unit and the back surface of the substrate and forming a wind path to pass airflow generated by driving the fan unit only on the back surface side of the substrate; and a power supply arranged in the case body and on the back surface of the wind path plate; and wherein the airflow impinges the wind path plate through the fan, thereafter passes through the wind path and is discharged to the outside from the back side of the wind path plate.
