Abstract:
A thermoelectric generating electronic device comprising: a heat insulating drum for restraining heat conduction and having a hollow portion extending in a vertical direction of the heat insulating drum; a rear cover for covering a lower end side of the hollow portion; a glass arranged on an upper end side of the hollow portion; a bezel connected to the heat insulating drum for supporting the glass; a heat radiating drum thermally connected with the bezel; a thermoelectric generator having a heat receiving portion and a heat radiating portion for generating predetermined electric energy in accordance with a temperature difference between the heat receiving portion and the heat radiating portion, the heat radiating portion being thermally connected to the bezel and the heat receiving portion being thermally connected to the rear cover; and a heat accumulating material disposed generally parallel to the thermoelectric generator for accumulating heat and disposed in the hollow portion of the heat insulating drum so that heat is conducted to the heat receiving portion of the thermoelectric generator.
