  • Patent number: 9253924
    Abstract: An image display device comprising an image display panel, heat dispersion material positioned proximate to the image display panel, a frame system including a framework positioned proximate to the heat dispersion material opposite the image display panel, and a plurality of electronic components engaging the framework, where the image display device exhibits a support factor of less than about 150 mm-W/m° K. The framework can be adhesively bonded to the heat dispersion material. The framework can include a height and a width wherein the heat dispersion material substantially spans the height and the width. Additionally, a first cross support can span the framework and a plurality of second electronic components can engage the first cross support. Additionally a second cross support can span the framework wherein at least one of the second electronic components engages the second cross support.
