The display device further includes: a heat sink situated in the central portion in the width direction of the display panel in the frame and extending in and out of the frame; and a heat dissipation component provided in the cover and being in contact with the heat sink at a position outside the frame.

Claims (20)

1. A display device comprising:

a frame that holds a display panel having a thin member and a light source that irradiates the display panel with light;

a cover that covers the frame;

a heat sink disposed in a central portion of a side of the frame extending in a width direction of the display panel, the heat sink extending in and out of the frame; and

a heat dissipation component provided in the cover and being in contact with the heat sink at a position outside the frame.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation component is a first heat dissipation component, and the display device further comprises a second heat dissipation component provided in the cover and being in contact with the frame at a position next to the first heat dissipation component.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover includes a front cover and a back cover that accommodate the frame, and

the heat dissipation component is provided in the back cover.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a reinforcing component provided between the cover and the heat dissipation component and including a fixed section fixed to the cover and a rising section rising from the fixed section in a direction toward the display panel.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the reinforcing component includes:

a first portion extending in a direction parallel to a surface of the cover, and

a second portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the first portion.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation component is made of heat dissipation rubber.

7. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display device including

a frame that holds a display panel having a thin member and a light source that irradiates the display panel with light,

a cover that covers the frame,

a heat sink disposed in a central portion of a side of the frame extending in a width direction of the display panel, the heat sink extending in and out of the frame, and

a heat dissipation component provided in the cover and being in contact with the heat sink at a position outside the frame; and

a main device openably and closably connected to the display device with a hinge.
