A plate-type heat transport device is provided. The plate-type heat transport device includes a metal plate having a meandering shape flow passage. The flow passage includes multiple linear channels and return channels. The linear channels extends in parallel to each other from a first end of the metal plate to a second end of the metal plate. The return channels are located in the first and second ends of the metal plate to allow the linear channels to communicate with each other. A first area of the metal plate associated with the linear channels is thinner than a second area of the metal plate associated with the return channels. The flow passage of the metal plate contains a hydraulic fluid.

The at least one cooler includes a vapor chamber including a high temperature heated by the display panel and a low temperature connected to the high temperature portion through a connection portion and spaced apart from the display panel, a fan spaced apart from the vapor chamber to blow air toward the vapor chamber, and an air guide configured to guide the air blown from the fan to the low temperature portion.

The electronic device includes a case, an antenna element, a heat source, a heat dissipation member, a heat conduction member, a cooling fan, an exhaust port, and an exhaust duct. The case has a pair of main surfaces and side surfaces. The antenna element is used to perform wireless communication. The heat dissipation member exchanges heat with a cooling wind. The heat conduction member conducts heat of the heat source to the heat dissipation member. The cooling fan generates the cooling wind to be blown to the heat dissipation member. The exhaust port is an exhaust port from which the cooling wind is discharged to the outside. The exhaust duct guides the cooling wind to the exhaust port. The exhaust port is disposed on one of the side surfaces, and the antenna element and the exhaust duct are disposed to overlap each other at least partially in the thickness direction.

A cooling device includes an evaporator configured to evaporate working fluid in a liquid phase due to a heat transferred from a cooling target, a condenser configured to condense the working fluid in the vapor phase, a vapor pipe through which the working fluid changed to the vapor phase in the evaporator flow into the condenser, and a liquid pipe through which the working fluid changed to the liquid phase in the condenser flow into the evaporator. The condenser has a phase change flow channel into which the working fluid in the vapor phase inflows via the vapor pipe, and through which the working fluid changed in phase from the vapor phase to the liquid phase flow out to the liquid pipe. The phase change flow channel has a reduced diameter part having a flow channel cross-sectional area decreasing in a direction from upstream toward downstream of the working fluid.

A heat-management device described herein includes an array of recesses distributed across an external surface of a thermally conductive body; and an array of protrusions interspersed with the array of recesses and forming a network of cavities within an internal volume of the thermally conductive body, the array of recesses and the array of protrusions defining a non-planar interface complimentary to a curved surface of a heat source. A fluid volume can be retained within the network of cavities at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. The heat management device includes a cooling operation mode wherein the fluid volume absorbs heat from the heat source through the non-planar interface and dissipates heat away from the heat source through the network of cavities. A manufacturing method is also described.

The present invention relates to: a cooler capable of simplifying a structure, increasing heat exchange efficiency, and slimming a display device; and a display device using the same. A cooler structure applied to the display device uses a heat pipe allowing a refrigerant, which is a volatile liquid, to flow therein and a fin structure expanding a heat transfer cross section, so as to rapidly absorb, through evaporation of the refrigerant, heat from the air in a closed air circulation path circulating around a display unit, and quickly dissipate heat from an outside space (an open air circulation path) of the closed air circulation path through condensation of the refrigerant, thereby enabling heat exchange to occur very efficiently while occupying less volume. Additionally, the present invention provides the cooler structure in which the heat pipe is made in a circular fashion such that the refrigerant efficiently flows therein. Particularly, when a section in which the heat pipe generates heat is disposed on the side of the display unit, the display device can be formed to be just as slim.

An outdoor display apparatus comprises a case including an inlet and an outlet, a display module disposed inside the case and including a display panel on which an image seen through at least a portion of the case is displayed, and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger comprises a first portion located on a first flow path formed to circulate air to the display module, a second portion to receive heat from the first portion, and located on a second flow path on which outside air is heat-exchanged with air, and a phase change material provided to circulate between the first and second portions, and provided to change a phase from a fluid to a gas. The case comprises a partition wall provided to isolate the first flow path and the second flow path from each other, and the first portion and the second portion are disposed obliquely.
