US Patent 7969739 Heat diffusing structure of a portable electronic apparatus

A portable electronic apparatus includes a first unit, a second unit, and a hinge unit. The first unit includes a first housing, a heat generating component inside the first housing, a first heat diffusing member disposed inside the first housing and diffusing heat from the heat generating component, and a heat dissipating part dissipating heat diffused by the first heat diffusing member to the outside of the first housing. The second unit includes a second housing, a second heat diffusing member disposed inside the second housing and diffusing heat inside the second housing, and a heat receiving part conducting heat from the heat dissipating part to the second heat diffusing member upon the heat receiving part being in contact with the heat dissipating part.
