Patent ID: 7251140

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a chassis base; a display panel positioned adjacent to a first side of the chassis base; a driving circuit attached on a second side of the chassis base, the second side opposite the first side of the chassis base where the display panel is positioned; a flexible printed circuit electrically connecting electrodes of the display panel to the driving circuit; a driver integrated circuit connected through the flexible printed circuit to the display panel, the driver integrated circuit selectively providing a voltage to the electrodes of the display panel in accordance with signals controlled by the driving circuit, a pressing plate adapted to press the driver integrated circuit to the chassis base; and at least one connecting member for fixing the pressing plate to the chassis base; wherein a first thermally conductive medium in liquid-phase or gel-phase is placed between the driver integrated circuit and the chassis base; and wherein a second thermally conductive medium in liquid phase or gel-phase is placed between the pressing plate and the driver integrated circuit.
