Patent ID: 7209348

Claim:
A heat dissipating structure for an electronic device, comprising: a heat source; and a heat dissipating member having an inner wall, an outer wall, and partition walls, wherein the inner wall directly or indirectly receives heat transfer from the heat source, the outer wall has an inner side and an outer side, the inner side opposes the inner wall at a distance there from, the outer side is exposed to the outside, the partition walls connect the inner wall and the inner side of the outer wall, the inner wall, the inner side of the outer wall and the partition walls define a plurality of through-holes, the through-holes are arranged along at least one of either the inner wall or the outer wall, each of the through-holes extends in a vertical direction within a tilt range in which gravitational influence is utilizable, and upper and lower ends of each of the through-holes open to the outside; wherein generated heat from the heat source is propagated to the outer wall via the inner wall and the partition walls, and a predetermined amount of heat generated by the heat source passing from the heat source to the outer side of the outer wall is determined so that rise in temperature of the outer side relative to the ambient temperature can be kept under a predetermined value, wherein at least the outer side of the outer wall is made of a low thermally conductive material.
