Abstract
A display device includes a display panel displaying an image. A light source unit provides light to the display panel. A cover member covers a portion of an upper surface of the display panel and a side surface of the display panel. The cover member exposes a display area of the display panel. A thermoelectric device is disposed between the cover member and the light source unit. The thermoelectric device contacts the cover member, and the thermoelectric device generates an electromotive force due to a difference in temperature between the light source unit and the cover member.
