This invention provides a heat pipe including a plurality of pipe parts for performing at least one of absorption of heat and radiation of heat through an outer surface, which are adjacent toward one direction, a flat part including a heat transfer plane created in a flat form for performing at least one of absorption of heat from and radiation of heat into outer space, created on a part of the outer surface of each of the plurality of pipe parts to be integrated with each of the pipe parts, and a fin in a flat form continuing without an uneven part from the heat transfer plane included in the flat part for providing an heat transfer plane further extended from the heat transfer plane toward an adjacent pipe part.
