  • Patent number: 8721158
    Abstract: The invention provides an LCD device. The LCD device includes a frame. The frame is internally provided with a lightbar, an LGP, and a reflecting surface. A long and narrow reflecting cavity is formed between the lightbar, the reflecting surface, and the LGP, and the frame is provided with heat dissipating holes which are communicated with the outside of the LCD device in the corresponding positions of both ends of the reflecting cavity. In the invention, the frame at the open parts of both ends of the reflecting cavity is provided with heat dissipating holes, thereby forming a “chimney effect”, namely hot air rapidly rises and then is discharged from the top holes, and cold air is rapidly supplemented from the bottom holes. Thus, heat convection is accelerated, thereby improving heat dissipation effect.
