  • Patent number: 10761360
    Abstract: A display device includes: a display panel including a substrate and a display driving component mounted on the substrate; a backlight unit; and a heat dissipation member present on that surface of the substrate which is opposite to the region in which a display driving component is mounted and on that side of the backlight unit which is opposite to the display panel, the heat dissipation member being made of a highly thermally conductive material and having slits for discharging gas inside the heat dissipation member to outside the heat dissipation member.

  • Publication number: 20200236784
    Abstract: A display apparatus has a wiring board connected to a first connection portion at an outer edge of a display. The number of first wires on a first surface of the wiring board is less than the number of second wires on a second surface. Through-holes adjacent to each other are disposed at positions that differ in the extending direction of the first wires.

  • Patent number: 10656324
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel and a backlight. The display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a heatsink. The first substrate includes a second substrate non-overlapping portion on which the second substrate is not disposed but a driving component is disposed. The backlight includes a light guide plate and a light source. The light source emits light toward an end surface of the light guide plate. The heatsink includes a display panel overlapping portion, a light source overlapping portion, and a connecting portion. The display panel overlapping portion is on a rear surface of the first substrate at least over an area corresponding to the driving component. The light source overlapping portion is on a side of the backlight remote from the display panel. The connecting portion connects the display panel overlapping portion and the light source overlapping portion to each other.
