Abstract

A display device includes a display panel including a base layer, a first heat dissipation member disposed on a first surface of the base layer, and a second heat dissipation member disposed on a first surface of the first heat dissipation member. The first heat dissipation member includes a first polymer resin and first heat dissipation nano-particles dispersed in the first polymer resin, and the second heat dissipation member includes a second polymer resin and second heat dissipation nano-particles dispersed in the second polymer resin. The weight of the first heat dissipation nano-particles in the first heat dissipation member may be different from the weight of the second heat dissipation nano-particles in the second heat dissipation member.
