FIGS. 2A and 2B are perspective views showing a display apparatus 1000 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, the display apparatus 1000 includes a display panel DP, a driving chip DC, a printed circuit board PCB, a flexible printed circuit board FPCB, and a heat radiate sheet HS.
The display panel DP includes a first base substrate BS1 and a second base substrate BS2 facing the first base substrate BS1. A light control layer (not shown) may be interposed between the first and second base substrates BS1 and BS2. In the present exemplary embodiment, the light control layer may be, but not limited to, an organic light emitting layer.
The display panel DP may have various shapes. In the present exemplary embodiment, the display panel DP has a substantially rectangular plate shape of a pair of long sides extending in the first direction D1 and a pair of short sides extending in the second direction D2. The display panel DP displays the image through an upper surface thereof, i.e., a third direction D3.
The display panel DP includes a display area DA and a non-display area NDA except for the display area DA. The pixels PX are arranged in the display area DA. The display panel DP displays the image through the pixels PX. The non-display area NDA does not display the image and various elements required to drive the pixels PX are arranged in the non-display area NDA.
The second base substrate BS2 is provided to correspond to the display area DA. The first base substrate BS1 includes a pad part PP and an array part AP. The array part AP is provided to correspond to the display area DA and faces the second base substrate BS2. The thin film transistor is provided in a plural number and the thin film transistors are arranged in the array part AP in a matrix form.
The pad part PP may be disposed at one side of the display panel DP to correspond to the non-display area NDA. An upper surface of the pad part PP may be exposed to the outside thereof without being covered by the second base substrate BS2. The second base substrate BS2 may be, but not limited to, the sealing layer.
The driving chip DC may be mounted on the pad part PP in a chip-on-glass (COG) method. As an example, the data driver DD (refer to FIG. 1) includes one driving chip DC, but the number of the driving chip DC included in the data driver DD should not be limited to one. That is, the data driver DD may include a plurality of driving chips.
The printed circuit board PCB may be electrically connected to the display panel DP. The timing controller TC, which controls the operation of the display panel DP, may be mounted on the printed circuit board PCB in a chip form. Although not shown in figures, plural control parts may be further mounted on the printed circuit board PCB to control drivers driving the pixels PX. The printed circuit board PCB extends in the first direction D1 along one long side of the display panel DP. The printed circuit board PCB may be electrically connected to the display panel DP at one side of the display panel DP.
The flexible printed circuit board FPCB may be disposed at one side of the display panel DP to electrically connect the printed circuit board PCB and the display panel DP. In more detail, one end of the flexible printed circuit board FPCB may be disposed on the pad part PP and electrically connected to the pad part PP, and the other end of the flexible printed circuit board FPCB makes contact with an upper surface of the printed circuit board PCB and may be electrically connected to the printed circuit board PCB. The flexible printed circuit board FPCB may be provided in a film form to have flexibility. Accordingly, the flexible printed circuit board FPCB may be disposed on a rear surface of the display panel DP after being bent.
The heat radiation sheet HS covers the rear surface of the display panel DP and the driving chip DC. The heat radiation sheet HS includes at least one of copper, graphite, and aluminum, but it should not be limited thereto or thereby as long as the heat radiation sheet HS includes a metal material having superior heat-conductivity.
Hereinafter, the heat radiation sheet HS will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C. FIG. 2C is a rear-surface view showing the heat radiation sheet HS according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIGS. 2A to 2C, the heat radiation sheet HS includes a first portion P1 disposed on a rear surface of the first base substrate BS1, a second portion P2 covering the driving chip DC, and a connection portion CP connecting the first portion P1 and the second portion P2.
The first portion P1 has a substantially rectangular plate shape of two pairs of sides, which are substantially parallel to each other, to correspond to the shape of the display panel DP. In the present exemplary embodiment, the printed circuit board PCB may be disposed on the rear surface of the display panel DP such that a rear surface of the printed circuit board PCB makes contact with the first portion P1. Accordingly, the first portion P1 radiates heat generated in the printed circuit board PCB by the driving controllers including the timing controller TC to the outside of the display apparatus 1000.
The connection portion CP extends from one side of the first portion P1 to the second direction D2. The connection portion CP may be bent at a boundary between the connection portion CP and the first portion P1 to form a right angle with the first portion P1. The connection portion CP faces at least a portion of the one side of the display panel DP and is spaced apart from the flexible printed circuit board FPCB to be substantially parallel to the flexible printed circuit board FPCB. In the present exemplary embodiment, the connection portion CP may be disposed at the one side of the display panel DP to connect the first and second portions P1 and P2, but the position of the connection portion CP should not be limited thereto or thereby as long as the connection portion CP faces at least the portion of sides of the display panel DP and connects the first and second portions P1 and P2.
The second portion P2 extends from the connection portion CP to the second direction D2. The second portion P2 may be bent at a boundary between the connection portion CP and the second portion P2 to form a right angle with the connection portion CP. Therefore, the second portion P2 faces the first portion P1 such that the display panel DP may be disposed between the first and second portions P1 and P2.
The second portion P2 makes contact with the driving chip DC and covers the driving chip DC and a portion of the pad part PP, which may be disposed adjacent to the driving chip DC. Thus, the second portion P2 radiates heat generated by the driving chip DC to the outside of the display apparatus 1000.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the connection portion CP transmits the heat in the second portion P2 to the first portion P1.
In a conventional display apparatus, a heat radiation member disposed on the rear surface of the display panel may be spaced apart from the heat radiation member disposed on the driving chip, and thus the heat generated by the driving chip is radiated to the outside of the display apparatus only through the heat radiation member disposed on the driving chip. However, according to the present exemplary embodiment, since the heat radiation sheet HS further includes the connection portion CP so that the heat generated by the driving chip DC may be radiated not only through the second portion P2 disposed on the driving chip DC but also through the first portion P1 disposed on the rear surface of the display panel DP. Accordingly, the heat generated by the driving chip DC may be rapidly and easily radiated to the outside of the display apparatus 1000.
In addition, in the conventional display apparatus, a process of attaching the heat radiation member is performed two times to attach the heat radiation member to the driving chip and to the display panel. However, according to the present exemplary embodiment, the heat radiation sheet HS may be bent at the boundary, which is represented by a dotted line, between the first portion P1 and the connection portion CP and at the boundary, which is represented by a dotted line, between the second portion P2 and the connection portion CP while being used. Therefore, the heat radiation sheet HS may be manufactured and attached to both the driving chip DC and the display panel DP at one time.
Hereinafter, heat radiation sheets according to another exemplary embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3A, 3B, 4A, and 4B.

The connection portion CP-1 may be disposed to face at least a portion of the other side of the display panel DP.
The second portion P2 extends from the connection portion CP-1 to the first direction D1. The second portion P2 may be bent at a boundary between the connection portion CP-1 and the second portion P2 to form a right angle with the connection portion CP-1. Accordingly, the second portion P2 faces the first portion P1 such that the display panel DP may be disposed between the first and second portions P1 and P2.
The second portion P2 makes contact with the driving chip DC and covers the driving chip DC and a portion of the pad part PP, which may be disposed adjacent to the driving chip DC. Thus, the second portion P2 radiates the heat generated by the driving chip DC to the outside of the display apparatus 2000.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the connection portion CP-1 transmits the heat within the second portion P2 to the first portion P1. Accordingly, the heat generated by the driving chip DC may be radiated not only through the second portion P2 disposed on the driving chip DC but also through the first portion P1 disposed on the rear surface of the display panel DP. Therefore, the heat generated in the driving chip DC may be rapidly and easily radiated to the outside of the display apparatus 1000.

The first connection portion CP1 may be bent at a boundary between the first portion P1 and the first connection portion CP1 to form a right angle with the first portion P1. The first connection portion CP1 faces at least a portion of one side of the display panel DP and may be spaced apart from the flexible printed circuit board FPCB to be substantially parallel to the flexible printed circuit board FPCB.
The second portion P2 extends from the first connection portion CP1 to the second direction D2. The second portion P2 may be bent at a boundary between the first connection portion CP1 and the second portion P2 to form a right angle with the first connection portion CP1. Accordingly, the second portion P2 faces the first portion P1 such that the display panel DP may be disposed between the first and second portions P1 and P2. The second portion P2 makes contact with the driving chip DC and covers a portion of the pad part PP, which may be disposed adjacent to the driving chip DC.
The second connection portion CP2 may be formed by extending at least a portion of the other side of the first portions P1, which is substantially vertical to the one side of the first portion P1. The second connection portion CP2 may be bent at a boundary between the first portion P1 and the second connection portion CP2 to form a right angle with the first portion P1. The second connection portion CP2 may be disposed to face the other side of the display panel DP.
The third portion P3 extends from the second connection portion CP2 to the first direction D1. The third portion P3 may be bent at a boundary between the second connection portion CP2 and the third portion P3 to form a right angle with the second connection portion CP2. Accordingly, the third portion P3 faces the first portion P1 such that the display panel DP may be disposed between the first and third portions P1 and P3. The third portion P3 may be disposed on the non-display area NDA between the flexible printed circuit board FPCB and the second base substrate BS2.
One end of the third portion P3 may be disposed on the second portion P2. The third portion P3 is partially overlapped with the second portion P2 above the non-display area NDA. Therefore, the third portion P3 radiates the heat generated in the driving chip DC and provided through the second portion P2 to the outside of the display apparatus 3000.
According to the present exemplary embodiment, the heat radiation sheet HS-2 includes the third portion P3, the heat generated by the driving chip DC may be easily radiated to the outside of the display apparatus 3000 through the second and third portions P2 and P3.
The first connection portion CP1 transmits the heat in the second portion P2 to the first portion P1. The second connection portion CP2 transmits the heat in the third portion P3 to the first portion P1. Thus, the heat generated by the driving chip DC may be radiated not only through the second and third portions P2 and P3 but also through the first portion P1. Accordingly, the heat generated by the driving chip DC may be rapidly and easily radiated to the outside of the display apparatus 3000.
