Abstract:
An electronic display which can be mounted above a paved surface in an outdoor environment. A surface or plate is placed behind the electronic display to define a gap where cooling air can be drawn through said gap in order to cool the electronic display. A plurality of ribs may be placed within the gap and in thermal communication with the electronic display. The density of the ribs may be varied according to the inlet and exhaust openings for the cooling air. The ribs may be placed at a higher density near the exhaust to account for the increase in temperature of the cooling air as it travels through the gap.

Abstract:
A system for cooling an electronic display where an isolating structure may be used to allow ambient air to cool power modules. The isolating structure substantially prohibits contaminants which may be present within the ambient air from contacting sensitive electrical components on the power modules or otherwise. A gasket may be used to seal the interface between the power modules and the isolating structure. Heat sinks may be placed in thermal communication with the power supplies and fans may draw air through a narrow channel in which the heat sinks are located. In some embodiments the narrow channel may have the opposing surface of the channel defined by the rear portion of an LED assembly. Exemplary embodiments may use the ambient air to cool both the power modules and a closed loop of isolated gas within the electronic display.

Disclosed are a direct-lit LED backlight, and a liquid crystal display device, provided with the backlight. In the LED backlight, heat generated by LEDs is easily dissipated, the number of the LEDs disposed is reduced, the temperature of the LEDs does not become too high, and reliability is improved by stabilizing light emission luminance and service life. The LED backlight (BL1) is provided with: an LED substrate (2), on which a plurality of the LEDs (1) are arranged in a row in the axis line direction; and a base (3), which has a substrate attaching surface (3a) for attaching the LED substrate. The base (3) is attached to a frame (10) such that the axis line direction is in the perpendicular direction, and a flow channel where air flows is provided in the perpendicular direction on the rear side of the substrate attaching surface (3a) of the base (3).
Abstract:
The invention is intended to provide a lighting device that shortens time required to obtain peak brightness. A backlight unit 16 according to the invention includes: cold cathode tubes 22 as a light source; a chassis 18 housing the cold cathode tubes 22; a reflection sheet 21 disposed within the chassis 18 and reflecting light; and a heat insulator 27 disposed between the chassis 18 and the reflection sheet 21. Because the heat insulator 27 is disposes between the chassis 18 and the reflection sheet 21, heat in the chassis 18 is less likely to escape to the outside. Therefore, the temperature inside the chassis 18 can be efficiently increased with the heat generated by the cold cathode tubes 22.
Abstract:
A system for cooling an electronic image assembly using ambient gas. The system contains a plurality of channels place behind the electronic image assembly and preferably in conductive thermal communication with the image assembly. Ambient gas is ingested into the display housing and directed to a first manifold which distributes the ambient gas to the plurality of channels. A second manifold preferably collects the ambient gas from the channels after absorbing heat from the electronic image assembly and/or channels. The second manifold then preferably directs the ambient gas towards an exhaust aperture and out of the display housing. Circulating gas may also be used to cool a front portion of the electronic image assembly. A cross through plate may be used to allow the ambient gas and circulating gas to cross paths without mixing.

Provided is a liquid crystal display apparatus having a heat dissipation mechanism which can effectively dissipate heat generated in a heat generating part generating a large amount of heat. The liquid crystal display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel, a backlight, a backlight chassis (70), and a wiring substrate (75) to which at least one heat generating part (90) is electrically connected. The heat generating part is mounted on a heat dissipation plate (80) through which heat generated by the heat generating part is dissipated. The region of the heat dissipation plate on which the heat generating part is mounted is spatially separated from the substrate to form an air passage (87). At least a portion of the heat dissipation plate is attached to the backlight chassis so as to conduct heat from the heat generating part to the backlight chassis through the heat dissipation plate.
