Abstract

A display device includes a cover member; a display panel disposed on the cover member; and a cushion plate disposed on the display panel, wherein the cushion plate includes a cushion layer and a heat-dissipation layer, wherein the heat-dissipation layer includes: a first body vertically overlapping with the cushion layer; and at least one first extension extending from the first body and outwardly of the cushion layer so as not to vertically overlap with the cushion layer, wherein the first extension is disposed on the cover member so as not to vertically overlap with the display panel.

Claims (47)

1. A display device comprising:

a cover member;

a display panel disposed under the cover member; and

a cushion plate disposed under the display panel and including a cushion layer and a heat-dissipation layer,

wherein the heat-dissipation layer includes:

a first body vertically overlapping the cushion layer; and

at least one first extension extending from the first body and outwardly of the cushion layer, and

wherein the at least one first extension is disposed on the cover member so as not to vertically overlap with the display panel.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first extension extends along at least one side surface of the first body.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first extension is electrically connected to the cover member.

4. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a conductive adhesive layer between the at least one first extension and the cover member.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the conductive adhesive layer includes:

a second body vertically overlapping with the first extension; and

a second extension extending from the second body and outwardly of the at least one first extension so as not to vertically overlap with the at least one first extension.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the second extension extends along an edge portion of the cover member.

7. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the second extension is disposed so as not to vertically overlap with the cushion plate.

8. The display device of claim 4 , further comprising a conductive light blocking layer disposed between the conductive adhesive layer and the cover member.

9. The display device of claim 1 , the heat-dissipation layer is a conductive layer having conductivity.

10. A display apparatus comprising:

a cover member;

a display panel disposed under the cover member;

a cushion plate disposed under the display panel and including a cushion layer, and a heat-dissipation layer, wherein the heat-dissipation layer includes a first body and a first extension extending from the first body and outwardly of the cushion layer so as not to vertically overlap with the cushion layer;

a conductive adhesive layer disposed between the first extension and the cover member and including a second body and a second extension extending from the second body and outwardly of the first extension so as not to vertically overlap with the first extension; and

a middle frame disposed on one surface of the cushion plate and electrically connected to the conductive adhesive layer.

11. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the second extension is exposed out of the cushion plate.

12. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first extension and the second extension extend in a perpendicular manner.

13. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a portion of the middle frame is in contact with the second extension.

14. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a portion of the middle frame is in contact with the first extension.

15. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a portion of the middle frame is in contact with the first body.

16. A cushion plate comprising:

a heat-dissipation layer;

a cushion layer disposed on the heat-dissipation layer; and

a conductive adhesive layer disposed on the heat dissipation layer,

wherein the heat-dissipation layer includes a first extension extending outwardly of the cushion layer and the conductive adhesive layer is disposed to overlap with the first extension.

17. The cushion plate of claim 16 , wherein the cushion layer and the conductive adhesive layer are disposed on a same layer with respect to the heat-dissipation layer.

18. The cushion plate of claim 16 , wherein the conductive adhesive layer includes a second extension extending outwardly of the first extension.

19. The cushion plate of claim 18 , wherein the second extension extends along a length direction of the heat-dissipation layer.

20. The cushion plate of claim 16 , further comprising an adhesive layer disposed on the opposite surface of the cushion layer on which the heat-dissipation layer is disposed.

21. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel includes:

a flexible display substrate including a bent portion in a non-display area;

a pixel array disposed on the flexible display substrate;

an encapsulation portion disposed to cover an upper surface and side surfaces of the pixel array;

a polarizing plate disposed on the encapsulation portion;

a reinforcing member disposed on the bent portion; and

a fixing member disposed on a portion of the polarizing plate and the reinforcing member.

22. The display device of claim 21 , wherein the polarizing plate and a portion of the reinforcing member are located on the same layer.

23. The display device of claim 21 , wherein one side of the polarizing plate and one side of a portion of the reinforcing member are in contact with each other.
