1. A display device, comprising:
a lower frame arranged on a side opposite to a display surface of a display panel, the lower frame comprising a bottom wall portion, and a side wall portion that is formed so as to surround the bottom wall portion at an edge thereof;
a plurality of light sources arranged along the side wall portion of the lower frame; and
a heat sink configured to dissipate heat generated from the plurality of light sources, wherein:
the bottom wall portion of the lower frame comprises a first recessed portion, a first protruding portion protruding from inside to outside the display device and a second recessed portion arranged in this order along a direction from the side wall portion toward the inside of the display device,
an air gap portion, at least part of which is surrounded by the first recessed portion, the first protruding portion and the second recessed portion is provided,
the heat sink comprises a plurality of groove portions that are formed along the bottom wall portion in a direction extending from the plurality of light sources, and
the plurality of groove portions are communicated with the air gap portion.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat sink further comprises a side portion formed along the side wall portion of the lower frame, and a bottom portion formed along the bottom wall portion, and
wherein the plurality of groove portions are formed at the bottom portion.
3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the bottom portion of the heat sink further comprises an intersecting groove portion that intersects with the plurality of groove portions.
4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of groove portions has a rectangular cross-sectional shape.
5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of groove portions has a cross-sectional shape, and
wherein a depth of the cross-sectional shape becomes larger toward a center thereof.
6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein each of the plurality of groove portions has a triangular cross-sectional shape.
7. The display device according to claim 5 ,
wherein a width of the cross-sectional shape becomes larger as being further away from the plurality of light sources.
8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom portion of the heat sink overlaps the first recessed portion of the lower frame, but does not overlap the first protruding portion of the lower frame when viewed from above.
9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a depth of the first recessed portion is smaller than a depth of the second recessed portion, with respect to the first protruding portion.
10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the heat sink reaches the air gap.
