![]() “Thermal simulation is the ideal tool to address this type of design challenge because it enables us to accurately evaluate a wide range of design options in a minimum amount of time,” Martin said. With the LEDs added around the display and electronic components it was clear from the beginning that thermal management would play a critical role in the design process.Īccordingly Martin began working very early in the development process to perform an architecture study with the goal of defining the effect of critical mechanical design choices on cooling. ![]() A total of 126 power LEDs placed around the screen create a multitude of segments that fuse into one soft surround of light in the active frame, directly enveloping the screen and flowing seamlessly into a soft halo on the wall. Reviewers are suggesting that the new Philips Aurea 42 inch LCD TV represents the future of television. “As a result, we saved a considerable amount of time and money by getting the design right the first time from a thermal standpoint.” “Thermal simulation enabled us to understand the thermal impact of our design decisions long before prototypes were available,” Martin said. Genevieve Martin, Project Leader for Philips Applied Technologies, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, used thermal simulation from the early stages of the development process to investigate the effect of different mechanical architecture options. ![]() Philips used FloTHERM thermal simulation software from the Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division (formerly Flomerics) to develop a mechanical design for its new Aurea 42 inch liquid crystal diode (LCD) television that is 3 to 5 degrees Centigrade better than previous proposed concepts. ![]()
