However, such a conventional structure is mainly used for a word processor, a notebook personal computer and the like because of its small size and low current consumption.

However, this narrowing of the frame narrows the distance between the cold-cathode tubes and the driving circuit components and the liquid crystal display panel, and further narrows the distance between the liquid crystal display device and the external power supply for the cold-cathode tubes. The heat generated by the cold-cathode tube is transmitted to the liquid crystal display panel, and the temperature in the vicinity of the liquid-crystal display panel becomes high, causing a temperature difference with the portion far from the cold-cathode tube. This temperature difference causes display unevenness on the liquid crystal display panel. appear. In other words, the high temperature portion of the entire screen looks whitish on the display due to the temperature characteristics of the liquid crystal.

In order to reduce the display unevenness, a flat metal plate such as aluminum having good heat conductivity is inserted between the light guide and the back metal frame to radiate the heat of the cold-cathode tube to uniformly form the liquid crystal display panel. There is a configuration that disperses heat, but the components that generate heat are not only cold cathode tubes, but also drive circuit components such as operational amplifiers and power supplies for cold cathode tubes, and the metal plate disperses heat from these components. Since there is little effect, there is a problem that these heats contribute to display unevenness.
