Cooler for display, and display device having same

A display device, comprising:

• a display unit having a front surface which is a display surface, a rear surface which is opposed to the front surface, and a side surface which is disposed between an edge of the front surface and an edge of the rear surface;
• a housing to house the display unit, the housing provided with an external communication port of an open air flow path;
• a front plate of the housing arranged at a front spaced from the display surface, the front plate partially defining a closed air circulation path;
• a rear plate of the housing arranged at a rear of the rear surface and spaced apart from the rear surface;
• a side plate of the housing connected to the front plate and the rear plate to cover the side surface of the display unit;
• a cooling module defining the open air flow path arranged along a longitudinal direction of the side surface of display unit at the side surface of the display unit, the longitudinal direction is perpendicular to front-rear direction, and the open air flow path configured to communicate with the external communication port of the housing;
• the closed air circulation path to circulate air through a space between the display surface and the front plate, the cooling module at the side surface of the display unit provided with the open air flow path, and a rear space of the display unit which is defined by the rear surface and the rear plate;
• and
• the cooling module including a heat exchanger arranged at the side surface of the display unit where the open air flow path and the closed air circulation path intersect, the heat exchanger to isolate air moving through the open air flow path and air moving through the closed air circulation path from each other and perform heat exchange therebetween,
• wherein the heat exchanger is not disposed in the rear space of the display unit.
