Abstract

A display device, comprising a display panel, a back surface enclosure disposed on a back surface side of the display panel and comprising a concave portion formed in a concave shape on a display panel side, and a heat generating component disposed between the display panel and the back surface enclosure, wherein the concave portion comprises a plurality of holes that release heat from the heat generating component to an outside of the display device.

Claims

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel;

a back surface enclosure disposed on a back surface side of the display panel and comprising a concave portion formed in a concave shape that is recessed to a display panel side in a cross-section orthogonal to a lateral direction of the back surface enclosure; and

a heat generating component disposed between the display panel and the back surface enclosure,

wherein the concave portion comprises a plurality of holes that release heat from the heat generating component to an outside of the display device.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of holes is disposed above the heat generating component in a longitudinal direction of the back surface enclosure.

3. The display device according to claim 2, wherein the concave portion comprises:

an release portion comprising the plurality of holes; and

a guide portion that guides heat from the plurality of holes to an outside of the display device and is disposed above the release portion in a longitudinal direction of the back surface enclosure.

4. The display device according to claim 2, wherein the back surface enclosure comprises:

a rear frame disposed on the back surface side of the display panel; and

a rear cover that covers a portion of an outer surface of the rear frame, wherein

the heat generating component is disposed between the rear frame and the rear cover, and

the concave portion is provided on the rear cover.

5. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the concave portion comprises:

a release portion comprising the plurality of holes; and

a guide portion that guides heat from the plurality of holes to an outside of the display device and is disposed above the release portion in a longitudinal direction of the back surface enclosure.

6. The display device according to claim 5, wherein the back surface enclosure comprises:

a rear frame disposed on the back surface side of the display panel; and

a rear cover that covers a portion of an outer surface of the rear frame, wherein

the heat generating component is disposed between the rear frame and the rear cover, and

the concave portion is provided on the rear cover.

7. The display device according to claim 5, wherein the release portion is disposed opposite the guide portion.

8. The display device according to claim 7, wherein

the concave portion extends in an elongated shape in a lateral direction of the back surface enclosure,

the plurality of holes is disposed at intervals in a longitudinal direction of the concave portion;

and

each of the plurality of holes extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the concave portion.

9. The display device according to claim 7, wherein the guide portion comprises a plurality of ribs on a top surface of the guide portion.

10. The display device according to claim 7, wherein a grain finish is applied to a top surface of the guide portion.

11. The display device according to claim 7, wherein the back surface enclosure comprises:

a rear frame disposed on the back surface side of the display panel; and

a rear cover that covers a portion of an outer surface of the rear frame, wherein

the heat generating component is disposed between the rear frame and the rear cover, and

the concave portion is provided on the rear cover.

12. The display device according to claim 5, wherein

the concave portion extends in an elongated shape in the lateral direction of the back surface enclosure,

the plurality of holes is disposed at intervals in a longitudinal direction of the concave portion;

and

each of the plurality of holes extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the concave portion.

13. The display device according to claim 12, wherein the guide portion comprises a plurality of ribs on a top surface of the guide portion.

14. The display device according to claim 12, wherein a grain finish is applied to a top surface of the guide portion.

15. The display device according to claim 12, wherein the back surface enclosure comprises:

a rear frame disposed on the back surface side of the display panel; and

a rear cover that covers a portion of an outer surface of the rear frame, wherein

the heat generating component is disposed between the rear frame and the rear cover, and

the concave portion is provided on the rear cover.

16. The display device according to claim 5, wherein the guide portion comprises a plurality of ribs on a top surface of the guide portion.

17. The display device according to claim 16, wherein the back surface enclosure comprises:

a rear frame disposed on the back surface side of the display panel; and

a rear cover that covers a portion of an outer surface of the rear frame, wherein

the heat generating component is disposed between the rear frame and the rear cover, and
