The invention relates to a heat dissipation device for a display, comprising a backing plate, a bonding layer, a heat dissipation plate, a support component, a reflective sheet, a light guide plate, adiffusion sheet, a display unit, a lateral entrance type LED light source, an LED light circuit board and an LED light bar bonding layer, wherein the backing plate, the bonding layer, the heat dissipation plate, the support component, the reflective sheet, the light guide plate, the diffusion sheet and the display unit are sequentially arranged and are parallel to each other, the lateral entrancetype LED light source, the LED light circuit board and the LED light bar bonding layer are arranged on the side surface of the heat dissipation device and are sequentially arranged, and the lateral entrance type LED light source is arranged at the innermost side. The heat dissipation device for the display has the advantages that the heat dissipation plate uses a high-thermal-conductivity composite for replacing an existing material and is supplemented by good structural design and other heat conduction and heat dissipation materials, thus the obtained heat dissipation device for the displayis ultrathin in structure and superior in performance.
