Patent number: 9247034Abstract: A heat dissipation structure includes a heat conduction support body disposed in a handheld electronic device. The heat conduction support body has a first face and a second face opposite to the first face. A chamber is defined between the first and second faces. More than one capillary structure and a working fluid are disposed in the chamber. One of the first and second faces or both of the first and second faces are in contact with the electronic components of the handheld electronic device. One of the first and second faces is in contact with the housing of the handheld electronic device. Accordingly, the heat generated by the electronic components can be quickly conducted and dissipated outward.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: ASIA VITAL COMPONENTS CO., LTD.Inventors: Kuo-Chun Hsieh, Chuan-Chin Huang
