[0116] The second path PT2 may be formed between the partition wall PW and the second surface SF2 .
[0117] The first path PT1 may be an area formed to receive a fluid (e.g., liquid) for heat dissipation. The first path PT1 may include one or more closed loops. The fluid may include an air layer (e.g., bubbles). Due to the heat applied to at least a portion of the first path PT1, the volume of the air layer in the corresponding area may expand. Due to the heat radiated from the remaining portion of the first path PT1, the volume of the air layer in the corresponding area may shrink. Due to expansion and contraction, the fluid may vibrate. Heat is transferred through the fluid, so that heat can be dissipated in the heat dissipation module 240. The first path PT1 may be surrounded by a partition wall PW and a first surface SF1.
[0118] The second path PT2 may be an area exposed to the outside. The second path PT2 may be an area through which external air flows into the heat dissipation module 240 or through which internal air is discharged from the heat dissipation module 240. For example, the second path PT2 may be connected to the outside of the heat dissipation module 240 (i.e., communicated with the outside of the heat dissipation module 240) in the first direction DR1 and / or the second direction DR2. In an embodiment, the second path PT2 may be connected to the outside of the heat dissipation module 240 in the third direction DR3. The second path PT2 may be surrounded by a partition wall PW. In an embodiment, the second path PT2 may also be surrounded by a second surface SF2.
[0119] In an embodiment, the first surface SF1 and the partition wall PW may be formed integrally with each other. For example, the first surface SF1 and the partition wall PW may be formed integrally with each other so that the first surface SF1 and the partition wall PW are continuously formed using a three-dimensional (3D) printing method. However, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method of integrally forming the first surface SF1 and the partition wall PW is not limited to the 3D printing method, and the foregoing examples are merely illustrative.
[0120] In an embodiment, the first surface SF1 and the partition wall PW may be formed as separate components. For example, the partition wall PW may be attached (or coupled) to the first surface SF1 having a planar shape, thereby forming the heat dissipation module 240. In an embodiment, the second surface SF2 may be formed together with the first surface SF1 and the partition wall PW by the aforementioned 3D printing method. In an embodiment, the second surface SF2 may be prepared separately and attached (or coupled) to the partition wall PW, thereby forming the heat dissipation module 240.
[0121] Hereinafter, for the purpose of explanation, an example in which the heat dissipation module 240 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the second surface SF2 will be described, but it should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. Hereinafter, for the purpose of explanation, an example in which the heat dissipation module 240 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has a structure in which the first surface SF1, the partition wall PW, and the second surface SF2 are formed separately from each other will be described, but it should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0122] Figure 8 It is shown Figure 7 2 is a cross-sectional view of a region X in an embodiment of a heat dissipation module 240 . Fig. 9 is a diagram for describing the heat dissipation module 240 having the liquid FL injected therein.
[0123] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The heat dissipation module 240 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a first planar component (or plate) UL (eg, a first plate-shaped member), a partition wall PW, and a second planar component (or plate) LL (eg, a second plate-shaped member).
[0124] The first planar component UL may include a first surface SF1 as an outer surface of the heat dissipation module 240. The first planar component UL may be connected (e.g., attached or coupled) to the partition wall PW on an inner surface of the first planar component UL facing away from the first surface SF1. In an embodiment, the first planar component UL may include a high heat transfer material, such as a metal. In another embodiment, the first planar component UL may include a polymer having a thermal conductivity lower than that of a metal (e.g., copper (Cu), gold (Au), etc.). For example, since substantial heat dissipation in the heat dissipation module 240 is performed by filling a liquid FL between the partition wall PW and the first planar component UL, the material used for the first planar component UL may be selected from a material having a relatively lower thermal conductivity than a metal (e.g., a polymer).
[0125] The second planar component LL may include a second surface SF2 as an outer surface of the heat dissipation module 240 opposite to the first surface SF1. The second planar component LL may be connected (e.g., attached or coupled) to the partition wall PW on the inner surface of the second planar component LL facing away from the second surface SF2. In an embodiment, the second planar component LL may include a high heat transfer material, such as a metal. In another embodiment, the second planar component LL may include a polymer having a thermal conductivity lower than that of a metal (e.g., copper (Cu), gold (Au), etc.). For example, since substantial heat dissipation in the heat dissipation module 240 is performed by filling the liquid FL between the partition walls PW, the material used for the second planar component LL may be selected from a material having a relatively lower thermal conductivity than a metal (e.g., a polymer).
[0126] The first plane component UL can enhance the rigidity of the heat dissipation module 240. The second plane component LL can also enhance the rigidity of the heat dissipation module 240. The first plane component UL and the second plane component LL can also be used as a chassis to prevent the display panel 210 (refer to Figure 2 ) etc. due to being applied to the electronic device 100 (refer to Figure 1 The first planar component UL and the second planar component LL may include, for example, a material having a relatively low thermal conductivity and being able to provide a relatively high rigidity.
[0127] The partition wall PW may form a first path PT1 and a second path PT2. Each of the first path PT1 and the second path PT2 may have a certain width. For example, each channel in the first path PT1 may have a uniform width of a first dimension D1. For example, each of the second paths PT2 may have a uniform width of a second dimension D2.
[0128] The first dimension D1 is a dimension sufficient to allow the liquid FL filled in the first path PT1 to move by capillary phenomenon to transfer heat and is not limited in size. The first dimension D1 may be determined and designed to vary according to the type of the liquid FL contained in the first path PT1.
[0129] The liquid FL may be, for example, water, freon, methanol, or ethanol, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The liquid FL and the air layer (eg, air bubbles) VP (refer to Fig.11 ) can be referred to as the working fluid WZ (refer to Fig.11 ).
[0130] In an embodiment, the first dimension D1 may be greater than the second dimension D2. For example, the increase in the surface area of the portion of the first planar component UL in contact with the liquid FL may enhance the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation module 240. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the foregoing examples. The first dimension D1 may be the same (or substantially the same) as the second dimension D2. In an embodiment, the first dimension D1 may be smaller than the second dimension D2.
[0131] Fig.10 is a rear perspective view of the heat dissipation module 240 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig.11 is used to describe the heat dissipation module 240 (refer to Fig.10 ) is a diagram of the heat dissipation performance.
[0132] Reference Fig.10 , showing Figure 7 2 is a rear view of the heat dissipation module 240, and the representation of the second surface SF2 is omitted to effectively illustrate the arrangement of the partition wall PW in the heat dissipation module 240.
[0133] The partition wall PW can form a closed loop. Fig. 9 ) may be contained in a closed loop. In an embodiment, the partition wall PW may further include an opening (not shown) to allow the liquid FL to be injected into the space formed by the closed loop in the partition wall PW. In an embodiment, during the process of manufacturing the partition wall PW (or the heat dissipation module 240), the liquid FL may be injected into the space formed by the closed loop in the partition wall PW. After the liquid FL is injected, the opening allowing the liquid FL to be injected into the space formed by the closed loop in the partition wall PW may be sealed. In this case, the partition wall PW may have no opening.
[0134] Reference Fig.10 , shows an embodiment in which the heat dissipation module 240 includes only one closed loop defined by the partition wall PW. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the aforementioned structure. For example, the heat dissipation module 240 may include two or more closed loops.
[0135] Two or more closed loops may be placed on a plane defined by the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. For example, two or more closed loops may be arranged parallel to each other in the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0136] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 , the high temperature zone HZ and the low temperature zone LZ may be defined in the heat dissipation module 240. Also refer to Figure 2 In response to the ambient temperature of the heat dissipation module 240, a high temperature zone HZ (or high temperature area HZ) and a low temperature zone LZ (or low temperature area LZ) may be defined in the electronic device 100. The high temperature zone HZ and the low temperature zone LZ in the heat dissipation module 240 may be adaptable and may not be predefined areas. The high temperature zone HZ may be an area positioned to overlap with the data driver 220 (e.g., the data driver integrated circuit D-IC). For example, the high temperature zone HZ may be an area corresponding to the area where the image IM is displayed with high brightness (refer to Figure 1 ) overlaps with the display panel 210. The low temperature zone LZ may be, for example, a region away from the data driver 220 (eg, referring to Figure 2 , a region at one end of the display panel 210 opposite to the second direction DR2). However, it should be noted that the high temperature region HZ and the low temperature region LZ are relatively defined, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the aforementioned examples.
[0137] Reference Fig.11 , the working fluid WZ may include a liquid FL and an air layer VP. The air layer VP (e.g., steam) may increase in volume in the high temperature region HZ and decrease in volume in the low temperature region LZ. If the volume of the air layer VP increases in the high temperature region HZ, the air layer VP may transfer the liquid FL. The liquid FL transferred from the high temperature region HZ by the air layer VP may move to the low temperature region LZ. In the low temperature region LZ, the liquid FL releases heat. Therefore, the heat dissipation module 240 (refer to Fig.10 ) can perform heat dissipation function.
[0138] According to the design of those skilled in the art, the volume of the air layer VP in the working fluid WZ (or the volume of the liquid FL) can be designed to be unrestricted within the range that allows the liquid FL to move by capillary action. For example, the volume of the liquid FL in the working fluid WZ can be approximately 20% or more and less than 100%. For example, the volume of the liquid FL in the working fluid WZ can be approximately 50%.
[0139] Fig.12 It is shown Figure 7FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a region X in another embodiment of a heat dissipation module 240 .
[0140] Reference Fig.12 In the heat dissipation module 240 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second plane component LL (refer to Fig. 9 ). Therefore, the second path PT2 (or the partition wall PW) may include an opening OPN, and may be connected to the outside of the heat dissipation module 240 in the opening OPN. The external air of the heat dissipation module 240 may easily flow through the second path PT2 through the opening OPN. Therefore, the heat exchange between the liquid FL in the first path PT1 and the external air in the second path PT2 may be more easily performed. Therefore, the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation module 240 may be enhanced.

[0142] Reference Fig.13 , a certain inclination angle θ may be formed between the partition wall PW and the first surface SF1. For example, the first path PT1 may have a width of a third dimension D3 on a side of the first path PT1 adjacent to the first surface SF1, and may have a width of a fourth dimension D4 different from the third dimension D3 on a side of the first path PT1 adjacent to the second surface SF2. For example, the second path PT2 may have a width of a fifth dimension D5 on a side of the second path PT2 adjacent to the first surface SF1, and may have a width of a sixth dimension D6 different from the fifth dimension D5 on a side of the second path PT2 adjacent to the second surface SF2.
[0143] In an embodiment, a certain inclination angle θ may be an acute angle less than a right angle (90°). For example, in the region corresponding to the first path PT1, the inclination angle θ between the partition wall PW and the first surface SF1 may be an acute angle. In the aforementioned embodiment, the third dimension D3 may be greater than the fourth dimension D4. The fifth dimension D5 may be less than the sixth dimension D6. In the aforementioned embodiment, the liquid FL may have a relatively large contact area with the region where heat is introduced into the first planar component UL. In addition, due to the diagonal arrangement of the partition wall PW, the surface area of the liquid FL in contact with the second path PT2 may be relatively increased. Therefore, the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation module 240 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be enhanced.

For example, the second path PT2 may have a width of a fifth dimension D5 on a side of the second path PT2 adjacent to the first surface SF1, and may have a width of a sixth dimension D6 different from the fifth dimension D5 on a side of the second path PT2 adjacent to the second surface SF2.

The seventh dimension D7 may be smaller than the third dimension D3 and larger than the fourth dimension D4. In the aforementioned embodiment, the second path PT2 may have a width of a fifth dimension D5, a sixth dimension D6, and an eighth dimension D8. The eighth dimension D8 may be larger than the fifth dimension D5 and smaller than the sixth dimension D6.
[0149] In the embodiment where the partition wall PW includes two or more step portions, the surface area of the liquid FL flowing through the first path PT1 in contact with the second path PT2 through the partition wall PW can be increased. Therefore, the heat dissipation effect can be enhanced.
[0150] Fig.15 is a rear view of a heat dissipation module 240 according to other embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0151] Reference Fig.15 In the heat dissipation module 240 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a hole HOLE may be formed in the second plane component LL.
