Heat spreader for plasma display panel
First Claim
1. A method for applying heat spreaders to a plurality of plasma display panels, comprising (a) providing a plurality of heat spreader composites, each of which comprises a heat spreader material comprising at least one sheet of compressed particles of exfoliated graphite having an adhesive thereon and a release material positioned such that the adhesive is sandwiched between the heat spreader material and the release material, wherein the adhesive and release material provide an average release load of no greater than about 40 grams per centimeter at a release speed of one meter per second;
- (b) removing the release material from a plurality of the composites; and
(c) applying at least one of the composites to each of the plurality of plasma display panels each such that the adhesive adheres the heat spreader material to the plasma display panel.

10. A method for applying a heat spreader to a heat source, comprising (a) providing a heat spreader composite, which comprises a heat spreader material comprising at least one sheet of compressed particles of exfoliated graphite having an adhesive thereon and a release material positioned such that the adhesive is sandwiched between the heat spreader material and the release material, wherein the adhesive and release material provide an average release load of no greater than about 40 grams per centimeter at a release speed of one meter per second;
- (b) removing the release material from the composite; and
(c) applying the composite to a heat source such that the adhesive adheres the heat spreader material to the heat source, wherein the release material and adhesive are selected to permit a predetermined rate of release of the release material without causing undesirable damage to the heat spreader material. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
