Heat spreader for emissive display device
First Claim
1. A display device, comprising a heat spreader having two major surfaces, the heat spreader comprising at least one sheet of compressed particles of exfoliated graphite wherein substantially all of one of the major surfaces of the heat spreader direct thermal is in contact with the display device, and further wherein the heat spreader comprises a facing layer adhered to a major surface of the at least one sheet of compressed particles of exfoliated graphite and interposed between the sheet of compressed particles of exfoliated graphite and the display device.
