[0047] FIGS. 4 and 5 are drawings for explaining a heat dissipation structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIGS. 4 and 5 may show a cross-section of a heat dissipation structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0048] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device (100) may include a heat dissipation structure. The heat dissipation structure is configured to dissipate heat generated from electronic components included in the electronic device (100). The heat dissipation structure may be positioned below a display (101). The heat dissipation structure may be positioned between the display (101) and a printed circuit board (PCB) (301). The heat dissipation structure may dissipate heat generated from electronic components (e.g., processor chips) integrated on the printed circuit board (310) to the outside of the electronic device (100).
[0049] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a heat dissipation structure for dissipating heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) may include a shield frame (330), a shielding cover (340), a heat transfer member (350), a partition member (360), and a heat diffusion member (370).
[0050] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one electronic component (320) may be disposed on one side of a printed circuit board (310). Specifically, at least one electronic component (320) may be disposed on the printed circuit board (310) inside a shield frame (330). At least one electronic component (320) may be disposed on the front side facing the +z-axis direction of the printed circuit board (310). For example, at least one electronic component (320) may include at least one processor (e.g., CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphic processing unit)), at least one passive component (e.g., capacitor, inductor), at least one memory, and / or at least one charging IC (integrated circuit).
[0051] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a shield frame (330) may be formed to surround at least one electronic component (320). For example, the shield frame (330) may be placed on the front surface of a printed circuit board (310). For example, the shield frame (330) may be placed to cover at least a portion of the printed circuit board (310). For example, the shield frame (330) may be formed to protrude from the printed circuit board (310) to have a predetermined height in the +z direction. For example, by placing the shield frame (330) on the printed circuit board (310), a first receiving space (S1) may be formed in which other components may be placed inside the shield frame (330). For example, at least one electronic component (320) may be placed in the first receiving space (S1) formed by the printed circuit board (310) and the shield frame (330).
[0052] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a shield frame (330) may include a first portion (331) that surrounds a side (320b) of at least one electronic component (320) and a second portion (332) that is bent and extended from the first portion (331) and faces the upper surface (320a) of at least one electronic component (320). For example, it may include a first portion (331) formed to protrude in the +z direction from a printed circuit board (310). For example, the shield frame (330) may include a second portion (332) formed to face the printed circuit board (310). For example, the second portion (332) may be formed in a shape that is bent and extended from one end of the first portion (331). For example, the first portion (331) may be positioned to be substantially orthogonal to the printed circuit board (310). For example, the second part (332) may be positioned substantially parallel to the printed circuit board (310). For example, the height (h1) at which the first part (331) protrudes from the printed circuit board (310) may be formed to have a value greater than the height (h2) of at least one electronic component (320) placed in the inner first receiving space (S1) of the shield frame (330). For example, the height (h1) at which the first part (331) protrudes from the printed circuit board (310) may be the distance between the upper surface (332a) of the second part (332) and the printed circuit board (310). For example, the angle at which the second part (332) is bent from the first part (331) may be about 90 degrees. However, the angle formed by the first part (331) with the printed circuit board (310) and the angle between the first part (331) and the second part (332) are not necessarily limited to the above description, and may be formed at different angles as necessary according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0053] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the shield frame (330) can block electromagnetic waves generated inside or outside the shield frame (330). The shield frame (330) may be formed of a material capable of shielding electromagnetic waves. For example, the shield frame (330) can prevent electromagnetic waves generated from at least one electronic component (320) disposed in the first receiving space (S1) inside the shield frame (330) from being emitted outside the shield frame (330). Alternatively, for example, the shield frame (330) can prevent electromagnetic waves generated from another component outside the shield frame (330) from flowing into the first receiving space (S1) inside the shield frame (330).
[0054] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the shield frame (330) may include a first opening (333). The first opening (333) may be a hollow shape formed on the upper surface (330a) of the shield frame (330). For example, the first opening (333) may be formed as a hollow shape penetrating the thickness direction of the shield frame (330). For example, the first opening (333) may be a hollow shape penetrating the shield frame (330) in the +z direction. For example, the first opening (333) may be formed in a second part (332) of the shield frame (330). For example, the first opening (333) may be formed to have a width (w1) corresponding to the width (w2) of at least one electronic component (320) disposed in the inner first receiving space (S1) of the shield frame (330). For example, when a plurality of electronic components (320-1, 320-2) are sequentially stacked and arranged in the +z direction in the inner first receiving space (S1) of the shield frame (330), the width (w1) of the first opening (333) may be formed to have a value corresponding to the width of the second electronic component (320-2) that is arranged relatively close to the second part (332). For example, the width (w1) of the first opening (333) may be larger than the width (w2) of at least one electronic component (320).
[0055] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a shielding cover (340) may be disposed on the upper surface (330a) of a shield frame (330). For example, the shielding cover (340) may be disposed on the upper side of a second portion (332) of the shield frame (330). For example, the shielding cover (340) may be disposed to cover a first opening (333). For example, the width (w3) of the shielding cover (340) may be formed to be longer than the width (w1) of the first opening (333). For example, the width (w3) of the shielding cover (340) may be formed to be longer than the width (w2) of at least one electronic component (320) disposed in the first receiving space (S1). For example, the shielding cover (340) may be disposed to be in contact with the upper surface of the second portion (332), i.e., the upper surface (330a) of the shield frame (330). For example, the inner first receiving space (S1) of the shield frame (330) can be formed as a closed space by means of the shield cover (340), the shield frame (330), and the printed circuit board (310).
[0056] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the shielding cover (340) may be formed of a material capable of shielding electromagnetic waves. For example, the shielding cover (340) may prevent electromagnetic waves generated from at least one electronic component (320) disposed in the inner first receiving space (S1) of the shield frame (330) from being emitted out of the first receiving space (S1) through the first opening (333). Alternatively, for example, the shielding cover (340) may block electromagnetic waves generated outside the first receiving space (S1) from entering the inner first receiving space (S1) of the shield frame (330) through the first opening (333).
[0057] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the shielding cover (340) may comprise a material having thermal conductivity. Accordingly, at least a portion of the heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) can be transferred to the outside of the first receiving space (S1) through the shielding cover (340).
[0058] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat transfer member (350) is configured to effectively dissipate heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) disposed in the first receiving space (S1) to the outside of the electronic device. For example, the heat transfer member (350) may be formed of a material having low specific heat. For example, the heat transfer member (350) may include a thermal interface material (TIM).
[0059] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat transfer member (350) may include a first heat transfer member (351) and a second heat transfer member (352).
[0060] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of the first heat transfer member (351) and the second heat transfer member (352) may be composed of a liquid material. For example, the liquid material may be a material having a certain viscosity. For example, the liquid material having viscosity may be a material that deforms when an external force is applied, and maintains the deformed shape without being restored when the application of the external force is stopped. For example, the heat transfer member (350) composed of a liquid material having viscosity may have physical properties that generate internal frictional force in response to shear deformation. For example, the first heat transfer member (351) and / or the second heat transfer member (352) composed of a liquid material may include heat dissipation grease and / or heat dissipation adhesive. For example, the first heat transfer member (351) may include a polymer resin (e.g., silicone and / or acrylic) and a thermally conductive filler (e.g., aluminum (Al2O3 (aluminum oxide)), boron nitride, carbon, polypropylene, PTFE (poly-tetrafluoroethylene), silver, and / or copper). For example, the first heat transfer member (351) and the second heat transfer member (352) may be appropriately modified so that at least one of them is composed of a liquid material within the desired range to allow heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) to be transferred to the outside of the shield frame (330). Specifically, if the first heat transfer member (351) is composed of a liquid material, the second heat transfer member (352) may be composed of either a liquid or a solid material. For example, the first heat transfer member (351) may be composed of a solid material, and the second heat transfer member (352) may be composed of a liquid material. Accordingly, the manufacturing process of the electronic device (100) can be simplified.For example, when both the first heat transfer member (351) and the second heat transfer member (352) are made of a solid material, components positioned adjacent to the heat transfer member (350), such as the shield frame (330) and / or shielding cover (340), may require a relatively sophisticated process. For example, when the first heat transfer member (351) or the second heat transfer member (352) is made of a solid material, the first heat transfer member (351) or the second heat transfer member (352) may include a thermal pad and / or a thermal tape.
[0061] In contrast, since the first heat transfer member (351) and / or the second heat transfer member (352) may be composed of a liquid material and have the property of being able to flow, even if the volume, thickness, or width of any opening of the components placed adjacent to the heat transfer member (350) in the manufacturing process of the electronic device (100) has a certain error compared to the values planned on the design drawing for the electronic device (100) and an unintended space is formed, the required heat dissipation performance can be achieved by allowing the liquid heat transfer member (350) to flow into the spaced space.
[0062] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a heat transfer member (350) may be disposed between at least one electronic component (320) and a heat diffusion member (370) to be described later. For example, the first heat transfer member (351) may be disposed to be in contact with at least one electronic component (320) and one side of the shielding cover (340). For example, the first heat transfer member (351) may be disposed to be in contact with the upper surface of at least one electronic component (320). For example, when a plurality of electronic components (320-1, 320-2) are sequentially stacked in the +z direction in the inner first receiving space (S1) of the shield frame (330), the first heat transfer member (351) may be disposed to be in contact with the upper surface (320-2a) of the second electronic component (320-2) stacked on the uppermost side. For example, the first heat transfer member (351) may be positioned to be in contact with the lower surface (340b) of the shielding cover (340).
[0063] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first heat transfer member (351) may be disposed on the upper surface of at least one electronic component (320) in a portion corresponding to the first opening (333). For example, the first heat transfer member (351) may be formed to have a width (w4) smaller than the width (w1) of the first opening (333). For example, the width (w4) of the first heat transfer member (351) may be formed to correspond to the width (w2) of at least one electronic component (320). For example, the height (h3) of the first heat transfer member (351) may be formed to correspond to the distance between at least one electronic component (320) and the shielding cover (340). Accordingly, at least a portion of the heat generated in at least one electronic component (320) can be transferred to a shielding cover (340) through a first heat transfer member (351) that is in direct and / or indirect contact with at least one electronic component (320).
[0064] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second heat transfer member (352) may include an adhesive material. For example, the heat diffusion member (370) may be attached to the shielding cover (340) by the second heat transfer member (352).
[0065] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second heat transfer member (352) may be positioned on the upper side of the shielding cover (340). For example, the second heat transfer member (352) may be positioned to be in contact with the other side opposite to one side of the heat diffusion member (370) and the shielding cover (340), which will be described later. For example, the second heat transfer member (352) may be positioned to be in contact with the upper surface (340a) of the shielding cover (340) and the lower surface (370a) of the heat diffusion member (370). For example, the width (w5) of the second heat transfer member (352) may be formed to be longer than the width (w4) of the first heat transfer member (351). However, the width (w5) of the second heat transfer member (352) is not necessarily limited thereto, and according to one embodiment, it may be formed to have a value equal to or smaller than the width (w4) of the first heat transfer member (351). For example, the width (w5) of the second heat transfer member (352) may be formed to be longer than the width (w1) of the first opening (333) and the width (w2) of at least one electronic component (320). For example, the width (w5) of the second heat transfer member (352) may be formed to have a value smaller than the width (w3) of the shielding cover (340). For example, the height (h4) of the second heat transfer member (352) may be formed to correspond to the distance between the shielding cover (340) and the heat diffusion member (370) to be described later. For example, heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) may be transferred to the heat diffusion member (370) to be described later through the first heat transfer member (351), the shielding cover (340), and the second heat transfer member (352).
[0066] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first heat transfer member (351), a shielding cover (340), and a second heat transfer member (352) may be attached to each other. For example, a shielding cover (340) may be attached to the upper surface (351a) of the first heat transfer member (351). For example, a second heat transfer member (352) may be attached to the upper surface (340a) of the shielding cover (340).
[0067] Although not shown in the drawing, a shielding film (not shown) may be disposed on the upper surface (340a) and / or lower surface (340b) of the shielding cover (340). For example, the shielding film may include an adhesive material. Accordingly, the first heat transfer member (351) and the second heat transfer member (352) may be more firmly attached to the shielding cover (340). That is, the first heat transfer member (351), the shielding cover (340), the shielding film, and the second heat transfer member (352) may be disposed as a single unit between at least one electronic component (320) and the heat diffusion member (370) to be described later by being bonded by an adhesive material.
[0068] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the partition member (360) may be formed of a material having low specific heat. For example, the partition member (360) may include a thermal interface material (TIM). For example, the partition member (360) may include a polymer resin (e.g., silicone and / or acrylic) and a thermally conductive filler (e.g., aluminum (Al2O3 (aluminum oxide)), boron nitride, carbon, PP (polypropylene), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), silver, and / or copper). For example, the partition member (360) may be composed of a solid material having elasticity. For example, it may be composed of an elastic gel material. For example, an elastic solid material may be a material having the property of returning to its original shape even if its shape is slightly deformed by an external force. In other words, the bulkhead member (360), composed of a solid material having elasticity, may have resistance to deformation against external force. For example, the bulkhead member (360) may not deform unless an external force exceeding a certain level is applied. However, the material of the bulkhead member (360) is not limited to the above description, and any material that has thermal conductivity and can maintain a constant shape may be modified as needed in one embodiment.
[0069] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a partition member (360) may be attached to the side of at least one electronic component (320). For example, the partition member (360) may be attached to at least a portion of the side of at least one electronic component. For example, the partition member (360) may be positioned to surround the side of at least one electronic component (320). For example, when a plurality of electronic components (320-1, 320-2) are sequentially stacked in the +z direction in the inner first receiving space (S1) of a shield frame (330), the partition member (360) may be positioned to contact the side (320-2b) of the second electronic component (320-2) stacked on the uppermost side. According to one embodiment, at least one electronic component may include a first electronic component (320-1) and a second electronic component (320-2) stacked on top of the first electronic component (320-1), and a partition member (360) may be positioned along the side (320-2b) of the second electronic component (320-2) from the upper surface (320-1a) of the first electronic component (320-1).
[0070] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the bulkhead member (360) may be formed to extend toward the first opening (333) so as to be in contact with one side of the shielding cover (340). For example, the bulkhead member (360) may be positioned so that one end (360a) is in contact with the lower surface (340b) of the shielding cover (340). For example, at least a portion of the bulkhead member (360) may be positioned between the first heat transfer member (351) and the shield frame (330). For example, at least a portion of the bulkhead member (360) may be positioned so as to be in contact with the first heat transfer member (351) and the shield frame (330). For example, at least a portion of the bulkhead member (360) may be positioned so as to be in contact with the side surface (351b) of the first heat transfer member (351). For example, at least a portion of the bulkhead member (360) may be positioned to be in contact with the second portion (332) of the shield frame (330). For example, at least a portion of the outer surface (360c) of the bulkhead member (360) may be positioned to be in contact with a portion of the shield frame (330) that forms the first opening (331). For example, the portion of the shield frame (330) may be a portion that is bent in a direction such that the upper surface of the shield frame (330) is indented into the interior of the shield frame (330). In other words, the portion of the shield frame (330) may be a portion that is bent and extended from the upper surface (330a) of the shield frame (330) to form the edge of the first opening (333). In other words, a part of the shield frame (330) may be a part of the shield frame (330) that forms a boundary between the first opening (333) and the shield frame (330).
[0071] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a second receiving space (S2) may be formed by at least one electronic component (320), a shielding cover (340), and a partition member (360). For example, a first heat transfer member (351) may be placed in the second receiving space (S2) formed by the upper surface (320a) of at least one electronic component (320), the shielding cover (340), and the partition member (360). For example, the first heat transfer member (351) may be placed such that its side (351b) contacts the partition member (360). Accordingly, the overall thickness of the heat dissipation structure may be reduced compared to the case where the first heat transfer member (351), the shield frame (330), the shielding cover (340), and the second heat transfer member (352) are stacked on the upper side of at least one electronic component (320) without including a first opening (333) in the shield frame (330). Accordingly, the overall thickness of the electronic device (100) can be reduced.
[0072] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the partition member (360) may limit the space in which the first heat transfer member (351) can flow. In other words, by forming the partition member (360) to protrude in the +z direction from at least one electronic component (320), the first heat transfer member (351) may be prevented from flowing away from the upper surface (320a) of at least one electronic component (320). This will be explained in more detail in FIG. 7.
[0073] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the partition member (360) is shown in the drawings as being positioned to contact only the side (320-2b) of the second electronic component (320-2) among the plurality of electronic components (320-1, 320-2), but is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the partition member (360) may be positioned to surround all of the plurality of electronic components (320-1, 320-2). For example, the partition member (360) may be positioned to contact all sides of the plurality of electronic components (320-1, 320-2). For example, the other end (360b) of the partition member (360) may be positioned to contact the printed circuit board (310).
[0074] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat diffusion member (370) is configured to dissipate heat generated inside an electronic device (100). For example, the heat diffusion member (370) is configured to dissipate heat generated from at least one electronic component (320). For example, the heat diffusion member (370) may include a vapor chamber. Alternatively, the heat diffusion member (370) may include a heat pipe. Although not illustrated in the drawings, according to one embodiment, the heat diffusion member (370) may include an upper plate, a lower plate, and a fluid. For example, the upper plate may be combined with the lower plate to form a space capable of accommodating a fluid inside. For example, the fluid may flow between the upper plate and the lower plate depending on the ambient temperature of the heat diffusion member (370). For example, the fluid may vaporize when the ambient temperature is high, and conversely, may liquefy when the ambient temperature is low. For example, the fluid may be vaporized and flow into a region where the ambient temperature is low to be liquefied, and the liquefied fluid may flow into a region where the ambient temperature is high to be vaporized. In this way, the heat diffusion member (370) can cause heat to be transferred and / or diffused from a region where the ambient temperature is high to a region where the ambient temperature is low through a phase change of the fluid contained therein. For example, the region where the ambient temperature is high may be an upper region of at least one electronic component (320).
[0075] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a heat diffusion member (370) may be disposed on the upper side of a second heat transfer member (352). For example, the heat diffusion member (370) may be disposed to be in contact with the upper surface (352a) of the second heat transfer member (352). According to one embodiment, the first heat transfer member (351), the shielding cover (340), the second heat transfer member (352), and the heat diffusion member (370) may be sequentially stacked in the +z direction on the upper side of at least one electronic component (320). Accordingly, at least a portion of the heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) may be transferred to the heat diffusion member (370) through the first heat transfer member (351), the shielding cover (340), and the second heat transfer member (352). For example, the area surrounding the second heat transfer member (352) may be a high-temperature region. The fluid contained within the heat diffusion member (370) can be vaporized in an area adjacent to the second heat transfer member (352). The fluid vaporized within the heat diffusion member (370) can flow a predetermined distance from the second heat transfer member (352) and be liquefied. The liquefied fluid can then flow from within the heat diffusion member (370) back to an area adjacent to the second heat transfer member (352). As the fluid circulates within the heat diffusion member (370) in this manner, the heat transferred to the heat diffusion member (370) through the second heat transfer member (352) can be released to the outside of the electronic device (100). In the present drawing, an embodiment in which the heat diffusion member (370) includes a vapor chamber has been described as described above, but even if the heat diffusion member (370) includes other configurations, the heat diffusion member (370) can dissipate heat transferred from the second heat transfer member (352) to the outside of the electronic device (100) using a principle similar to that described above.
[0076] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device (100) may include a support member (380). The support member (380) may refer to a configuration substantially identical to the first support member (211) described in FIG. 3. Unless otherwise specified below, the support member (380) may refer to the description of the first support member (211). According to one embodiment, the support member (380) may be provided as part of a heat dissipation structure of the electronic device (100). For example, the support member (380) may include an upper surface (380a) and a lower surface (380b). For example, the support member (380) may receive a load from another component positioned above the upper surface (380a). For example, the support member (380) may be coupled to a housing (110). In this case, the load of other components transmitted to the support member (380) can be transmitted and / or distributed to the housing (110) through the support member (380). For example, the support member (380) can prevent the load of other components placed on the upper side of the upper surface (380a) from being directly transmitted to other components placed in the -z direction from the lower surface (380b) of the support member (380). Accordingly, it is possible to prevent excessive load from being transmitted to the heat dissipation structure. In other words, the heat dissipation structure can be maintained more stably.
[0077] According to one embodiment, the support member (380) may be positioned on the outside of the shield frame (330). For example, the support member (380) may be positioned on the upper side of the shield frame (330). For example, the support member (380) may be positioned between the shield frame (330) and the display (101). For example, the support member (380) may be positioned to face the second part (332) of the shield frame (330). For example, the support member (380) may be positioned to be spaced apart from the second part (332) by a predetermined distance, and a detailed description thereof will be provided later in FIG. 12.
[0078] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the support member (380) may be formed in the shape of a flat plate overall. For example, the support member (380) may have the shape of a flat plate facing the printed circuit board (310). According to one embodiment, the support member (380) may include a second opening (381). For example, the support member (380) may include a hollow second opening (381) formed to have a shape corresponding to the heat diffusion member (370). For example, the second opening (381) may be formed in a hollow shape that penetrates the support member (380) in the z-direction. For example, the second opening (381) may be formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the heat diffusion member (370) so that the heat diffusion member (370) can be received inside. For example, the heat diffusion member (370) can be placed inside the second opening (381) so that the load of the heat diffusion member (370) can be transferred to the support member (380).
[0079] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a heat dissipation structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 6 is a drawing for explaining a second opening (381) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0080] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second opening (381) may include a first region (381a) and a second region (381b). For example, the first region (381a) and the second region (381b) may each be a portion of a hollow formed on the inner side of the second opening (381). For example, the first region (381a) may be formed to have a first width (d1). For example, the second region (381b) may be formed to have a second width (d2) that is longer than the first width (d1). For example, the second region (381b) may be formed on the upper side of the first region (381a). For example, the first region (381a) and the second region (381b) may be formed by one side (380c) of the support member (380) forming the second opening (381) having a stepped shape. For example, the first region (381a) may be a region surrounded by the first surface (380c-1). For example, the second region (381b) may be a region surrounded by the second surface (380c-2). For example, the first surface (380c-1) and the second surface (380c-2) may be connected by a third surface (380c-3). For example, the heat diffusion member (370) may be positioned to be in contact with the second surface (380c-2) and the third surface (380c-3).
[0081] According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the second heat transfer member (352), a shielding cover (340), at least a portion of the second part (332) of the shield frame (330), at least a portion of the first heat transfer member (351), and at least a portion of the partition member (360) may be disposed in the first region (381a). For example, at least a portion of the second receiving space (S2) may be disposed in the first region (381a). According to one embodiment, a heat diffusion member (370) may be disposed in the second region (381b). The details regarding the placement of the heat diffusion member (370) in the second region (381b) will be described in detail below.
[0082] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the support member (380) may be formed integrally with the shield frame (330). For example, the support member (380) may be formed by extending from the shield frame (330). Accordingly, the manufacturing process for producing a heat dissipation structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may be simplified.
[0083] FIG. 7 is a drawing showing a heat diffusion member according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring together to FIGS. 4 through 7, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat diffusion member (370) may include a core portion (371) and an extension portion (372). For example, the extension portion (372) may be formed only for a peripheral area (A1) of at least one electronic component (320). For example, the peripheral area (A1) of at least one electronic component (320) may be a high-temperature region due to heat emitted from at least one electronic component (320). However, the shape of the extension portion (372) is not necessarily limited to that depicted and may be formed in various shapes as needed. For example, the extension portion (372) may be formed by compressing a member that forms the lower surface (370a) and the upper surface (370b) of the heat diffusion member (370). For example, the extension portion (372) can seal the internal space formed by the member forming the lower surface (370a) and the upper surface (370b). For example, a fluid is placed within the internal space, and heat transferred to the heat diffusion member (370) by the movement of the fluid can be effectively dissipated.
[0084] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the core portion (371) can dissipate heat transferred from at least one electronic component (320). For example, the extension portion (372) may be configured to be in contact with the support member (380). For example, the load of the heat diffusion member (370) may be transferred to the support member (380) through the extension portion (372). For example, the heat diffusion member (370) may be positioned so that at least a portion of the extension portion (372) is in contact with the support member (380). For example, the heat diffusion member (370) may be formed so that its upper surface (370b) is positioned substantially on the same plane as the upper surface (380a) of the support member (380). For example, a second heat transfer member (352) may be positioned to be in contact with the lower surface (370a) of the heat diffusion member (370).
[0085] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an adhesive member (390) may be further included between the lower surface of the extension portion (372) of the heat diffusion member (370) and one surface of the support member (380). For example, the adhesive member (390) may be double-sided tape, but is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the adhesive member (390) may be placed on the third surface (380c-3). The heat diffusion member (370) may be attached to the third surface (380c-3) of the support member (380) by the adhesive member (390). Accordingly, the heat diffusion member (370) may be prevented from being detached from the second region (381b). According to one embodiment, as previously described in FIG. 4, if an adhesive material is included in the second heat transfer member (352), the adhesive member (390) may not be included. Conversely, in an embodiment including the adhesive member (390) above, the second heat transfer member (352) above may not include an adhesive material. However, the embodiment in which the second heat transfer member (352) includes an adhesive material and the embodiment in which the adhesive member (390) above are included do not necessarily have to be implemented separately, and may be implemented as an embodiment including both the adhesive material and the adhesive member (390) as needed.
[0086] FIGS. 8 and FIGS. 9 are drawings illustrating a heat dissipation structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 8 is a drawing showing a cross-section along line A-A' of FIG. 6. FIG. 9 is a drawing showing a view of the shield frame (330) from the front.
[0087] Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, one cross-section of the bulkhead member (360) may be formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the first opening (333). For example, the bulkhead member (360) may be formed such that at least a portion of its outer surface (360c) contacts a portion of the shield frame (330) in which the first opening (333) is formed. For example, in FIG. 8, the cross-sectional area of the closed region (B) formed by the outer surface (360c) of the bulkhead member (360) may be formed to correspond to the area of the first opening (333).
[0088] According to one embodiment, the first opening (333) and the bulkhead member (360) may share substantially the same virtual center point (CP). For example, the distance (L1) from the virtual center point (CP) to one side (330b) of the shield frame (330) where the first opening (333) is formed may correspond to the distance (L2) from the virtual center point (CP) to the outer surface (360c) of the bulkhead member (360).
[0089] Accordingly, at least a portion of the outer surface (360c) of the bulkhead member (360) may be supported by the shield frame (330). In detail, a portion not attached to at least one electronic component (320) may be supported by one side (330b) of the shield frame (330).
[0090] Accordingly, the first heat transfer member (351) placed in the second receiving space can move to prevent one end of the bulkhead member (360) from being pushed and the overall shape of the bulkhead member (360) from being deformed.
[0091] FIG. 10 is a drawing illustrating a heat dissipation structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 10, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat dissipation structure may further include a third heat transfer member (353). For example, the third heat transfer member (353) may be disposed in at least a portion of a third receiving space (S3) formed by at least one electronic component (320), a partition member (360), and a shield frame (330). For example, the third receiving space (S3) may be formed as a closed space by the above configurations. Or, the third receiving space (S3) may be formed as an open space communicating with the outer space of the shield frame (330). For example, the third heat transfer member (353) may include a thermal pad, thermal grease, thermal adhesive, and / or thermal tape. For example, the third heat transfer member (353) may include a polymer resin (e.g., silicone and / or acrylic) and a thermally conductive filler (e.g., aluminum (Al2O3 (aluminum oxide)), boron nitride, carbon, polypropylene, PTFE (poly-tetrafluoroethylene), silver, and / or copper).
[0092] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third heat transfer member (353) may be positioned to be in contact with at least a portion of the side (320b) of at least one electronic component (320). For example, the third heat transfer member (353) may be positioned to be in contact with at least a portion of the inner surface of the shield frame (330). For example, the third heat transfer member (353) may be positioned in the third receiving space (S3) on the printed circuit board (310). Although not shown in the drawings, the third heat transfer member (353) may be positioned to be in contact with the partition member (360). According to one embodiment, the third heat transfer member (353) may be positioned to be in contact with both at least a portion of the side (320b) of at least one electronic component (320) and at least a portion of the inner surface of the shield frame (330). For example, in an embodiment where at least one electronic component (320) comprises a plurality of electronic components (320-1, 320-2) and a partition member (360) is attached to the side of the second electronic component (320-2), the third heat transfer member (353) may be positioned to be in contact with at least a portion of the side (320-1c) of the first electronic component (320-1). In other words, the third heat transfer member (353) may be positioned to surround the side of the first electronic component (320-1). Accordingly, at least a portion of the heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) may be released to the outside of the heat dissipation structure through the third heat transfer member (353) and the shield frame (330).
[0093] FIG. 11 is a drawing showing a heat dissipation structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 11, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a shielding cover (340) may include at least one hole (341). For example, the shielding cover (340) may include at least one hole (341) penetrating the shielding cover (340) in the thickness direction. Here, the thickness direction of the shielding cover (340) may mean the z-direction.
[0094] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one hole (341) may be formed in the inner side (IA) of the area where the partition member (360) contacts the shielding cover (340). For example, at least one hole (341) may be formed in an area of the shielding cover (340) facing the first opening (333). According to one embodiment, at least one of a first heat transfer member (351) and a second heat transfer member (352) may be disposed inside the at least one hole (341). For example, if the second heat transfer member (352) is made of a solid material and the first heat transfer member (351) is made of a liquid material, only the first heat transfer member (351) may be disposed in the at least one hole (341). Conversely, if the first heat transfer member (351) is composed of a solid material and the second heat transfer member (352) is composed of a liquid material, only the second heat transfer member (352) may be placed in at least one hole (341). Alternatively, if both the first heat transfer member (351) and the second heat transfer member (352) are composed of a liquid material, the first heat transfer member (351) and / or the second heat transfer member (352) may be placed in at least one hole (341). Although the drawing only illustrates an embodiment in which at least one hole (341) penetrates the shielding cover (340) in the thickness direction (z-direction), the shape of at least one hole (341) is not necessarily limited to this. For example, at least one hole (341) may be formed to have an acute or obtuse angle with respect to the x-axis.
[0095] As a result of the heat transfer member (350) being disposed in at least one hole (341) formed in the shielding cover (340) in this manner, heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) can be transferred more effectively from the first heat transfer member (351) to the second heat transfer member (352). That is, accordingly, the heat dissipation performance of the heat dissipation structure included in the electronic device (100) can be improved.
[0096] FIG. 12 is a drawing showing a heat dissipation structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 12, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat dissipation structure may further include a fourth heat transfer member (354). For example, the heat dissipation structure may further include a fourth heat transfer member (354) disposed between a support member (380) and a shield frame (330) facing the lower surface (380b) of the support member (380). For example, the fourth heat transfer member (354) may include a thermal pad, thermal grease, thermal adhesive, and / or thermal tape. For example, the fourth heat transfer member (354) may include a polymer resin (e.g., silicone and / or acrylic) and a thermally conductive filler (e.g., aluminum (Al2O3 (aluminum oxide)), boron nitride, carbon, polypropylene, PTFE (poly-tetrafluoroethylene), silver, and / or copper).
[0097] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fourth heat transfer member (354) may be disposed in a gap space (G) formed between the upper surface (332a) of the second part (332) of the shield frame (330) and the lower surface (380b) of the support member (380). For example, the upper surface (332a) of the second part (332) of the shield frame (330) and the lower surface (380b) of the support member (380) may be disposed with a predetermined gap between them. According to one embodiment, as the fourth heat transfer member (354) is disposed in the gap space (G), which is the spaced-out space, heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) can be transferred to the support member (380) through the shield frame (330). Accordingly, since heat generated from at least one electronic component (320) can also be diffused through the support member (380), the overall heat dissipation performance of the heat dissipation structure can be improved. According to one embodiment, the fourth heat transfer member (354) may be formed to cover at least a portion of the upper surface (330a) of the shield frame (330). For example, the fourth heat transfer member (354) may be formed to cover at least a portion of the upper surface (332a) of the second part (332) of the shield frame (330). For example, the fourth heat transfer member (354) may be formed to be in contact with at least a portion of the upper surface (332a) of the second part (332) of the shield frame (330) and at least a portion of the lower surface (380b) of the support member (380). Although not illustrated in the drawings, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fourth heat transfer member (354) may be formed to surround at least a portion of the upper surface (332a) of the second part (332) of the shield frame (330) and one surface of the first part (331). In other words, the shape of the fourth heat transfer member (354) is not necessarily limited to what is shown and can be implemented in various shapes as needed.

[0103] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat diffusion member (440) may be secured by an adhesive member (not shown) disposed between an extended peripheral portion (443) and an upper support member (461).
