Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite structure consisting of a thermally conductive insulation film combined with a thermosetting adhesive layer. The insulation film provides both thermal conduction and electrical insulation properties, while the adhesive layer bonds the film to heat-generating components. This composite material approach resolves the contradiction by achieving heat dissipation without compromising insulation.
