Abstract
An image display apparatus to equalize a temperature of a panel, such as a plasma display panel, LCD or the like. A radiating plate has a heat transmission unit for equalizing a surface temperature of the image display unit. The heat transmission unit uses a loop heat pipe. The loop heat pipe has a small amount of operation fluid inside, the inside of the loop heat pipe being under vacuum. The loop heat pipe circulates heat emitted from the image display unit to equalize the temperature of the image display unit. Accordingly, the partial damage to the panel caused by the high temperature heat generated from the panel can be prevented, and the life span of the panel can be extended. The equalized temperature of the panel can reduce a brightness difference between the upper and lower ends of the panel.
