Abstract

A display device includes a display that displays images, a light source that irradiates light toward a back surface of the display, a metal material that radiates heat generated by the light source, a protective part provided in proximity to the perimeter of the display, wherein the protective part opposes the metal material, and a conductive part interposed between and electrically connects the protective part and the metal material.

Claims (33)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display that displays images;

a light source assembly that irradiates light from a back side of the display;

a metal material that radiates heat generated by the light source;

a protective part provided in proximity to a perimeter of the display, wherein the protective part is disposed opposite the metal material with a distance separating the protective part and the metal material; and

a conductive part interposed between and electrically connects the protective part and the metal material,

wherein the protective part comprises an opening,

wherein the conductive part is interposed between the protective part and the metal material and blocks the opening, and

wherein all contact between the conductive part and the protective part occurs in a single plane wherein the metal material comprises a cut and raised portion formed in a direction toward the protective part, and the conductive part contacts the cut and raised portion.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the metal material further comprises a raised part formed in a direction toward the protective part, and

the conductive part contacts the raised part.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the conductive part is a gasket having conductivity.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the conductive part is elastic.

5. A method for forming a display device, comprising:

providing a light source assembly that irradiates light from a back side of a display;

providing a metal material that radiates heat generated by the light source;

providing a protective part in proximity to a perimeter of the display, wherein the protective part is disposed opposite the metal material with a distance separating the protective part and the metal material; and

interposing a conductive part between and electrically connecting the protective part and the metal material,

wherein the protective part comprises an opening,

wherein the conductive part is interposed between the protective part and the metal material and blocks the opening, and

wherein all contact between the conductive part and the protective part occurs in a single plane forming a raised part on the material in a direction toward the protective part so that the conductive part contacts the raised part.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

forming an opening on the protective part; and

interposing the conductive part between the protective part and the metal material and blocking the opening.

7. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

forming a cut and raised portion on the metal material in a direction toward the protective part so that the conductive part contacts the cut and raised portion.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein

the conductive part is a gasket having conductivity.

9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein

the conductive part is elastic.
