Abstract

A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a display panel, a vapor chamber positioned behind the display panel, a board, which is positioned behind the vapor chamber and is coupled to the vapor chamber, and an adhesive member disposed between the display panel and the vapor chamber so as to be coupled thereto, wherein the vapor chamber includes a first plate, which defines a front surface thereof and faces the display panel, a second plate, which defines a rear surface thereof and is coupled to the first plate, and fluid flowing in a space defined between the first plate and the second plate, and wherein the first plate includes a coupler, which is depressed rearwards from the first plate and to which the adhesive member is coupled.

Claims (31)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel;

a vapor chamber positioned behind the display panel;

a board, which is positioned behind the vapor chamber and is coupled to the vapor chamber; and

an adhesive member disposed between the display panel and the vapor chamber so as to be coupled thereto,

wherein the vapor chamber comprises:

a first plate, which defines a front surface thereof and faces the display panel;

a second plate, which defines a rear surface thereof and is coupled to the first plate; and

fluid flowing in a space defined between the first plate and the second plate,

wherein the first plate comprises a coupler, which is depressed rearwards from the first plate and to which the adhesive member is coupled,

wherein the second plate comprises a plurality of recesses, which are depressed forwards from the second plate and are spaced apart from each other, and

wherein the space is defined between a remaining region of the second plate excluding the plurality of recesses and the first plate.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the vapor chamber covers an entire area of a rear surface of the display panel.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the coupler comprises a plurality of couplers, and the adhesive member comprises a plurality of adhesive members, which are respectively coupled to the plurality of couplers.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a front surface of the first plate is positioned between a front surface and a rear surface of the adhesive member so as to be spaced apart from a rear surface of the display panel.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a front surface of the first plate is flush with a front surface of the adhesive member so as to be in contact with a rear surface of the display panel.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member comprises a phase change material (PCM).

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first plate is configured to be flat with respect to the display panel.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the board comprises a plurality of electronic elements mounted thereon, and

wherein the second plate further comprises:
