Abstract

A display device includes a display panel including a substrate having electrodes for forming pixels therein, and a backlight which irradiates light to a rear surface of the display panel. The backlight has a plurality of light-emitting elements, a circuit substrate on which the plurality of light-emitting elements are arranged in array. A resin material is filled around sides of the plurality of light-emitting elements.

Claims (26)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel including a substrate having electrodes for forming pixels therein; and

a backlight which irradiates light to a rear surface of the display panel;

wherein the backlight has a plurality of light-emitting elements, a circuit substrate on which the plurality of light-emitting elements are arranged in array;

wherein each of the plurality of light-emitting elements includes a fluorescence light-emitting unit and a reflection surface;

wherein a resin material is filled around sides of the plurality of light-emitting elements; and

wherein the resin material has a heat conductivity which is higher than a heat conductivity of air.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting elements are light-emitting diodes.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of light-emitting diodes are divided into at least two groups, and a voltage is applied to each group of the light-emitting diodes.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting elements are disposed in a metal case.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the resin material is configured to enable an improved radiation effect for the backlight.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 5 , wherein the resin material is configured to expose an upper surface of each of the light-emitting elements and a thickness no greater than a thickness of each of the light-emitting elements.

7. A display device comprising:

a display panel including a substrate having electrodes for forming pixels therein;

a backlight which irradiates light to a rear surface of the display panel; and

a control unit which controls the display panel;

wherein the backlight has a plate-shaped light source;

wherein the plate-shaped light source has light-emitting diodes being arranged in a matrix;

wherein each of the light-emitting diodes includes a fluorescence light-emitting unit and a reflection surface;

wherein a resin material is filled around sides of the light-emitting diodes and in a gap of two adjacent light-emitting diodes; and

wherein the resin material has a heat conductivity which is higher than a heat conductivity of air.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein light-emitting diodes are divided into at least two groups, and a voltage is applied to each group of the light-emitting diodes.

9. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein light-emitting diodes are disposed in a metal case.

10. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 9 , wherein the metal case includes a bottom surface and two pairs of side surfaces.

11. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 7 , wherein the resin material is configured to enable an improved radiation effect for the backlight.

12. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 11 , wherein the resin material is configured to expose an upper surface of each of the light-emitting diodes and a thickness no greater than a thickness of each of the light-emitting diodes.
