Abstract

A back plate structure comprises a back plate body, at least a supporting beam and a plurality of heat dissipation members, wherein the supporting beam is fixed on a back of the back plate body and the heat dissipation members are disposed on the supporting beam. The supporting beam has a central protrusion portion and a peripheral portion. The heat dissipation members are disposed on an upper surface of the peripheral portion or on a sidewall of the central protrusion portion or into an inner portion of the central protrusion portion. Because the heat dissipation members are disposed on the supporting beam, the heat dissipation area of the present invention can be increased and therefore the heat dissipation efficiency of the plasma display apparatus can be effectively promoted. Therefore, the service life of the plasma display apparatus can be increased and also the display performance thereof can be enhanced.

Claims (24)

1. A back plate structure suitable for a display, comprising:

a back plate body;

at least a supporting beam, fixed on a back of the back plate body, wherein the supporting beam has a central protrusion portion and a peripheral portion; and

a plurality of heat dissipation members, disposed on at least one of an upper surface of the peripheral portion, a sidewall of the central protrusion portion and an inner portion of the central protrusion portion.

2. The back plate structure of claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation members and the supporting beam are integrally formed.

3. The back plate structure of claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation members comprise a plurality of fins, a plurality of columns or a plurality of heat dissipation holes.

4. The back plate structure of claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation members comprise a plurality of fins or a plurality of columns disposed on the upper surface of the peripheral portion and the sidewall of the central protrusion portion.

5. The back plate structure of claim 1 , further comprising at least a fixing member used for fixing the supporting beam on the back plate body.

6. The back plate structure of claim 1 , wherein the supporting beam and the heat dissipation members are fabricated using a same or different materials.

7. The back plate structure of claim 1 , wherein a material of the supporting beam and the heat-dissipation members comprises aluminum or aluminum alloy.

8. The back plate structure of claim 1 , further comprising a heat conducting film disposed on a surface of a portion of the supporting beam and a surface of the heat dissipation members.

9. A plasma display apparatus, comprising:

a back plate structure, comprising:

a back plate body;

at least a supporting beam, fixed on a back of the back plate body, wherein the supporting beam has a central protrusion portion and a peripheral portion; and

a plurality of heat dissipation members, disposed on at least one of an upper surface of the peripheral portion, a sidewall of the central protrusion portion and an inner portion of the central protrusion portion; and

a plasma display panel fixed on the back plate structure.

10. The plasma display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the heat dissipation members and the supporting beam are integrally formed.

11. The plasma display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the heat dissipation members comprise a plurality of fins, a plurality of columns or a plurality of heat dissipation holes.

12. The plasma display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the heat dissipation members comprise a plurality of fins or a plurality of columns disposed on the upper surface of the peripheral portion and the sidewall of the central protrusion portion.

13. The plasma display apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising at least a fixing member used for fixing the supporting beam on the back plate body.

14. The plasma display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the supporting beam and the heat dissipation members are fabricated using a same material or different materials.

15. The plasma display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein a material of the supporting beam and the heat-dissipation members comprises aluminum or aluminum alloy.

16. The plasma display apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising a heat conducting film disposed on a surface of a portion of the supporting beam and a surface of the heat dissipation members.
