Since the composite silicone rubber sheet is superior in thermal conductivity and has a good flexibility and tackiness, when used as a heat dissipating insulation sheet, the composite silicone rubber sheet has the advantages of being superior in adherence, free of oil-bleeding, suitable for mass-production, and capable of not lowering workability in assembling electronic parts and the like. The composite silicone rubber sheet is thin and lightweight and has a superior thermal conductivity, so that it can be used in the heat dissipation of a display panel for mounting on motor vehicles, railway vehicles or aircrafts. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet comprising a thermal conductive silicone rubber layer, both surfaces of which are tacky, having a Asker C hardness of 5 to 50 and a thickness of 0.4 mm or less; at least one reinforcing sheet arranged within said silicone rubber layer; and a releasable protective sheet covered on at least one tacky surface of said silicone rubber layer, said layer comprising a cured product of an addition-curable type liquid organopolysiloxane composition comprising A) an alkenyl group-containing organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, B) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms per molecule in such an amount that the hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms is 0.1 to 1.5 per alkenyl group contained in said component A), C) a platinum family metal catalyst, and D) a thermal conductive filler in an amount of 25 to 90% by weight based on the silicone rubber layer. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 1, wherein the reinforcing sheet is made of one material selected from the group consisting of a glass cloth, polyester, heat-resistant nylon, cotton, polyimide resin, and acrylic resin. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 2, wherein the reinforcing sheet is made of a glass cloth. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 1 containing a low molecular weight siloxane having a polymerization degree of 20 or less in an amount of 0.5% by weight or less of the composite silicone rubber sheet. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 1, wherein the reinforcing sheet has been arranged at least one place selected from an upper part, a vicinity of a central part, and a lower part, of the silicone rubber layer. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 5, wherein the place of the reinforcing sheet is the vicinity of the central part of the silicone rubber layer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 1, wherein the thickness of the reinforcing sheet is in the range of 0.01 to 0.15 mm, and the total thickness of the silicone rubber layer and the reinforcing sheet is 0.45 mm or less. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 7, wherein the thickness of the reinforcing sheet is in the range of 0.01 to 0.05 mm. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 7, wherein the thickness of the reinforcing sheet is in the range of 0.01 to 0.05 mm and the total thickness of the silicone rubber layer and the reinforcing sheet is 0.2 mm or less. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 9, wherein the total thickness of the silicone rubber layer and the reinforcing sheet is 0.15 mm or less, and the reinforcing sheet is made of a glass cloth. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 1, wherein the protective sheet is one member selected from the group consisting of a polyethylene film, a polyethylene terephthalate film at least one surface of which has been release-treated, a paper at least one surface of which has been release-treated. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 11, wherein the protective sheet is a paper at least one surface of which has been release-treated. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 12, wherein the protective sheet is a paper both surfaces of which have been release-treated, and the paper has been covered on only one tacky surface of said silicone rubber layer to thereby roll the composite silicone rubber sheet into a roll. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 10, wherein the protective sheets are a polyethylene film and a paper one surface of which has been release-treated, and the polyethylene film has been covered on one surface of the silicone rubber layer while the paper has been covered on the other surface of the silicone rubber layer.
