Abstract

A display device includes a display panel, a heat spread sheet below the display panel and in contact with a first surface of the display panel, and a heat storage sheet in contact with at least a portion of the heat spread sheet. The heat spread sheet includes a first phase change material. The heat storage sheet includes a second phase change material having a boiling point greater than a boiling point of the first phase change material.

Claims (53)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel;

a heat spread sheet below the display panel and in contact with a first surface of the display panel; and

a heat storage sheet in contact with at least a portion of the heat spread sheet,

wherein the heat spread sheet includes a first phase change material, and

wherein the heat storage sheet includes a second phase change material having a boiling point greater than a boiling point of the first phase change material.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first phase change material includes a material whose phase is changed from liquid to gaseous states by receiving heat from the display panel.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second phase change material includes a material whose phase is changed from solid to liquid states by receiving heat from the heat spread sheet.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a planar area of the heat spread sheet is greater than a planar area of the heat storage sheet.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein

the heat spread sheet is in contact with an entirety of the first surface, and

the heat storage sheet overlaps the heat spread sheet when viewed in a plan view.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a volume of the heat storage sheet is greater than a volume of the heat spread sheet.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the heat storage sheet is provided in plural, and

a plurality of heat storage sheets are spaced apart from each other on a rear surface of the heat spread sheet.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

each of the heat spread sheet and the heat storage sheet is provided in plural, and

a plurality of heat spread sheets and a plurality of heat storage sheets are disposed alternately with each other.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the heat spread sheet further includes a first heat transfer chamber which surrounds the first phase change material, and

the heat storage sheet further includes a second heat transfer chamber which surrounds the second phase change material.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein each of the first and second heat transfer chambers includes a metal whose thermal conductivity is high.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the heat spread sheet includes:

a first part in which the first phase change material is disposed; and

a second part in which the first phase change material is not disposed.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the heat storage sheet is in contact with the first part.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the display panel includes a base layer, a circuit layer on the base layer, and a display element layer on the circuit layer, and

the heat spread sheet overlaps the display element layer when viewed in a plan view.

14. A display device, comprising:

a display panel; and

a heat radiation sheet below the display panel and in contact with a first surface of the display panel,

wherein the heat radiation sheet includes:

a diffusion part adjacent to the display panel, wherein a first phase change material which receives heat from the display panel is disposed in the diffusion part;

a storage part adjacent to the first phase change material, wherein a second phase change material which receives heat from the first phase change material is disposed in the storage part; and

a heat transfer chamber which surrounds each of the first phase change material and the second phase change material,

wherein a thermal conductivity of the first phase change material is greater than a thermal conductivity of the heat transfer chamber.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein a boiling point of the second phase change material is greater than a boiling point of the first phase change material.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein

the first phase change material includes a material whose phase is changed from liquid to gaseous states by the heat from the display panel, and

the second phase change material includes a material whose phase is changed from solid to liquid states by the heat from the first phase change material.

17. The display device of claim 14 , wherein

the diffusion part is below the display panel, and

the storage part is below and overlaps the diffusion part when viewed in a plan view.

18. The display device of claim 14 , wherein a volume of the storage part is greater than a volume of the diffusion part.

19. The display device of claim 14 , wherein

each of the diffusion part and the storage part is provided in plural, and

a plurality of diffusion parts and a plurality of storage parts are disposed alternately with each other.

20. The display device of claim 14 , wherein

the display panel includes a base layer, a circuit layer on the base layer, and a display element layer on the circuit layer,

the diffusion part overlaps the display element layer when viewed in a plan view, and

the storage part does not overlap the display element layer when viewed in the plan view.
