Abstract:
1. A method for providing heat spreading to a plasma display panel which comprises discharge cells, consisting essentially of (a) providing a substantially flat heat spreader which consists essentially of one or more sheets of compressed particles of exfoliated graphite having an adhesive thereon; (b) providing a release material positioned such that the adhesive is sandwiched between the one or more sheets of compressed particles of exfoliated graphite and the release material; (c) removing the release material; and (d) applying the heat spreader to a plasma display panel such that the heat spreader overlays a plurality of the discharge cells and the adhesive adheres the heat spreader to the plasma display panel sufficiently to maintain the heat spreader in position regardless of the orientation of the plasma display panel.
