Patent ID: 7443681

Claim:
A heat dissipator for a display apparatus, the heat dissipator comprising: a signal transmission member; a thermal conductive supporter adapted to dissipate heat generated by the signal transmission member; a chassis member adapted to support a panel adapted to display images and including at least one device; and a circuit unit separated from the chassis member and adapted to drive the panel; wherein the signal transmission member is adapted to transmit electrical signals between the chassis member and the circuit unit; and wherein the thermal conductive supporter includes: a base portion of a thermal conductive material, and having a side surface adapted to contact the chassis member and another side surface adapted to contact the signal transmission member; and a recess portion arranged on the base portion and oriented toward the chassis member so that the at least one device does not contact the base portion, the recess portion being arranged in a vertical direction of the base portion to facilitate heat generated by a device mounted on the signal transmission member to move upward through a space between the recess portion and the device.
