Multilayer plate
A multilayer plate is disclosed which includes three layers. A carbon layer is covered by a metallic layer, and a substrate layer is covered at least partially by the carbon layer and the metallic layer. The metallic layer includes a first zone and a second zone. The first zone is a zone defined by the carbon layer and the second zone is a zone defined by carbon layer-free zone. The substrate layer is made of a polyurethane flexible foam. The first zone has a higher thermal conductivity as the second zone. The multilayer plate can be used as a demonstration display for demonstrating the different thermal conductivity in the first zone compared to the second zone to a consumer.
