Claim Text:
1. A display device comprising: a display panel; a flexible circuit board having flexibility and including an end connected to the display panel; a signal transmission board connected to another end of the flexible circuit board and configured to transmit signals to the flexible circuit board; a driver component mounted on the flexible circuit board and configured to process the signals from the signal transmission board and supply the processed signals to the display panel to drive the display panel; a frame-shaped member having a frame-like shape and retaining the liquid crystal panel by holding edges of the display panel on a display surface side; and a heat dissipation member having higher thermal conductivity than the frame-shaped member and embedded in a portion of the frame-shaped member, the heat dissipation member including a contact portion projecting toward the signal transmission board and a distal end being in contact with a portion of the flexible circuit board on which the driver component is mounted; wherein the frame-shaped member includes a top section parallel to a display surface of the display panel and a side section extending from an outer edge of the top section so as not to be parallel to the top section; and the heat dissipation member has a thickness equal or substantially equal to a thickness of the side section of the frame-shaped member.
