Abstract

Provided is an electronic device including a metal plate that is exposed on at least one of a plurality of side surfaces of the electronic device so as to absorb heat from a heat generating component that generates heat inside the electronic device and guide the heat to an outside of the electronic device. In addition, an outer surface of the metal plate exposed to the outside is formed further inside the electronic device than a first member and a second member.

Claims (9)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a heat dissipation member having a thermal conductivity higher than a thermal conductivity of a first member, the first member comprising a front surface of the electronic device and a second member comprising a back surface of the electronic device and located inside the electronic device,

wherein the heat dissipation member is exposed on at least one of a plurality of side surfaces of the electronic device to absorb heat from a heat generating component that generates heat inside the electronic device and guide the heat outside the electronic device, and

wherein in a sectional view traversing the heat dissipation member, the first member, and the second member, the heat dissipation member is between the first member and the second member, and each exposed surface of the heat dissipation member is formed further inside the electronic device than the first member and the second member.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the exposed surface of the heat dissipation member is formed in a concave shape that is recessed toward the inside of the electronic device.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation member is a metal plate.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the metal plate is integrally molded.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a graphite sheet is affixed to the heat dissipation member.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the exposed surface of the heat dissipation member is disposed on a longitudinal side surface of the electronic device.
