Thermal insulation structure

Abstract

A thermal insulation structure is disposed on an outer surface of a housing of an electronic device. The thermal insulation structure includes a plurality of tubular structures arranged in parallel, and each of the tubular structures extends along an extension direction. Each tubular structure has at least one tube wall enclosing to form a hollow space. Due to the tubular structures, the thermal isolation structure has anisotropic thermal conductivity. In the thermal isolation structure, heat transfer in every direction is different, and the hot spot area is relative enlarged to reduce the highest temperature on the surface of the thermal isolation structure. Thus, high temperature hot spot area caused by the heat generating element is prevented to be formed on the surface of the electronic device.
