Abstract
A first light-transmissive plate is provided on an opposite surface of a first substrate of an electro-optic panel to a second substrate. The first light-transmissive plate is smaller than the first substrate, and an end portion of the first substrate is exposed from the first light-transmissive plate. In addition, a heat radiation member made of a metal material is provided so as to be overlapped with the exposed portion from the first light-transmissive plate of the first substrate.
Claims10
An electro-optic module comprising:
- an electro-optic panel that includes a first light-transmissive substrate, a second light-transmissive substrate arranged so as to face the first light-transmissive substrate, and an electro-optic material layer provided between the first light-transmissive substrate and the second light-transmissive substrate;
- a first light-transmissive plate that overlaps a side of the first light-transmissive substrate opposite to the second light-transmissive substrate in at least an image display region of the electro-optical panel in a state in which a portion of a surface of the side of the first light-transmissive substrate opposite to the second light-transmissive substrate is exposed;
- and
- a heat radiation member comprising
- a frame portion that overlaps the side of the first light-transmissive substrate opposite to the second light-transmissive substrate on at least a part of the exposed portion of the first light-transmissive substrate, and
- a parting portion that overlaps a surface of a side of the first light-transmissive plate opposite to the first light-transmissive substrate,
- wherein
- the heat radiation member is made of a material higher in thermal conductivity than the first light-transmissive plate,
- the parting portion contacts the surface of the side of the first light-transmissive plate opposite to the first light-transmissive substrate,
- the frame portion contacts the side of the first light-transmissive substrate opposite to the second light-transmissive substrate, and
- end portions of the first light-transmissive plate and the heat radiation member which face each other are spaced apart from each other.
