  • Patent number: 8681502
    Abstract: A shell structure suitable for an electronic device is provided. The electronic device has a heat generating element. The shell structure includes a core layer, a first material layer, and a second material layer. The core layer includes a thermal insulating area and a thermal conducting area. The core layer has first and second surfaces opposite to each other. The first material layer is configured on the first surface. The second material layer is configured on the second surface. The thermal insulating area is aligned to the heat generating element, and the shell structure covers the heat generating element, such that heat generated by the heat generating element is transferred to the first material layer through the second material layer and the heat conducting area to perform heat dissipation, and a position of the first material layer aligned to the heat generating element is prevented from generating a heat point.
