DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following content combines with the drawings and the embodiment for describing the present invention in detail.

As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a thermal conductive sheet, comprising:

a first adhesive layer 3 covers on the graphite sheet 2 and the foldable layer 1;

a polymer film layer 4 coated on the first adhesive layer 3.

It can be understood that the graphite sheet 2 is located outside the bending region 11 of the foldable layer 1 so that the graphite sheet 2 not only has a good heat dissipation effect, but also can avoid the graphite sheet 2 from bending, layer separation and cracking when bending. At the same time, because the first adhesive layer 3 can fill the bending region 11 of the foldable layer 1, the bending resistance and the flexibility can be effectively improved.

It should be noted that the bending region 11 of the foldable layer 1 can be formed integrally, or disposed separately such that the bending resistance and the flexibility of the foldable layer 1 are better.

In the present embodiment, the foldable layer 1 can be made by metal such as an aluminum foil, a copper foil, or a thin foil which has a very thin thickness. Accordingly, the foldable layer 1 not only has a good heat dissipation property, but also has an anti-magnetic interference effect.

In the present embodiment, the graphite sheet 2 can be disposed at two sides of the bending region 11 of the foldable layer 1. By this way, the thermal conductive sheet of the present invention can dissipate heat at two sides in order to increase the heat dissipation effect of the thermal conductive sheet. Of course, the graphite sheet 2 can adopt a single-layered structure or a stacked-layered structure having a better heat dissipation effect. In the stacked-layered structure, adjacent layers of the graphite sheet 2 can be isolated through a release film. It should be noted that if the foldable layer 1 has multiple bending regions 11, at each region outside the multiple bending regions 11, the graphite sheet 2 can be provided in order to increase the heat dissipation effect. For decreasing the risk of the bending, the layer separation and the cracking, at each region outside the multiple bending regions 11, the number of the graphite sheet 2 is increased to reduce a length of a single graphite sheet 2 so that the graphite sheet 2 can have a better stress resistance.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first adhesive layer 3 adopts adhesive glue such as a UV glue or a thermosetting glue having a good thermal conductive property.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, between the foldable layer 1 and the graphite sheet 2, a second adhesive layer 5 is provided to adhere the foldable layer 1 and the graphite sheet 2 together. Accordingly, the firmness of the graphite sheet 2 can be increased. It can be understood that the second adhesive layer 5 can adopt a material same as the first adhesive layer 3.

In the embodiment, a material of the polymer film layer 4 can be PI or PET. Accordingly, the flexible property of the thermal conductive sheet is better.

A shown in FIG. 4, a manufacturing method for a thermal conductive sheet is provided, and the method includes steps of:

Step S1: providing a foldable layer, and disposing a bending region on the foldable layer;

Step S2: disposing a graphite sheet on the foldable layer and outside the bending region;

Step S3: covering a first adhesive layer on the graphite sheet and the foldable layer;

Step S4: coating a polymer film layer on the first adhesive layer.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first adhesive layer in the step S3 requires to perform a corresponding treatment in order to adhere the graphite sheet to the foldable layer such as perform a UV curing to the UV glue or performing a thermal curing to the thermosetting glue.

Of course, in order to increase the firmness of the graphite sheet, in the step S2 and the step S3, the method further includes a step of disposing a second adhesive layer between the foldable layer and the graphite sheet, and second adhesive layer adheres the foldable layer and the graphite sheet together.

Wherein the graphite sheet is disposed at two sides of the bending region of the foldable layer.

Wherein the graphite sheet is provided with a heat dissipation hole.
