Abstract
A back panel for a display device, such as a flat-panel television or computer monitor, which is very thin around the edges and houses all electronics in a 'spine' near the vertical center of the back of the display. The back panel provides novel heat-dissipation, arrangement of electronics to save space, forces the center of gravity forward allowing the display to be set closer to a wall, and provides less interference and signal degradation than the prior art.
