Patent ID: 7218521

Claim:
A device comprising: a panel assembly; a chassis base adapted to support the panel assembly; a circuit substrate coupled to the chassis base; a flexible printed cable having respective ends connected to electrode terminals of the panel assembly and to a connector of the circuit substrate, the flexible printed cable adapted to transmit electrical signals therebetween; a heat radiator adapted to dissipate heat generated by an IC of the flexible printed cable, the IC being attached to one surface of the chassis base, and the heat radiator beina attached to the chassis base on which the IC is attached; and a cover plate arranged outside of the flexible printed cable to protect the IC of the fexible printed cable, the IC being arranged between the chassis base and the cover plate; wherein the heat radiator is attached to an opposite surface to the one surface of the chassis base on which the IC is attached, the heat radiator being arranged in a space defined by the panel assembly, the cover plate, and the chassis base.
