Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing, a cooling fan in the housing including an intake and a discharge hole, and a wind shielding portion between the intake of the cooling fan and the discharge hole of the cooling fan. The wind shielding portion partitions at least partially an inner space of the housing.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A display device comprising:
 a housing comprising a first inlet and an outlet;   a heat sink facing the outlet in the housing;   a cooling fan comprising a first intake and a discharge hole;   a circuit board comprising a first heating element, the first heating element being located between the heat sink and the cooling fan;   a heat pipe thermally connecting the first heating element to the heat sink; and   a wind shield at least partially partitioning the housing into a first chamber and a second chamber,   wherein the first chamber comprises the first inlet of the housing and the first intake of the cooling fan, and   wherein the second chamber comprises the outlet of the housing, the first heating element, the heat sink, the heat pipe, and the discharge hole of the cooling fan in the housing.   
     
     
         2 . The display device of  claim 1 ,wherein:
 the housing further comprises a palm rest and a keyboard mount recessed from the palm rest,   the cooling fan is below the palm rest, and   the circuit board is below the keyboard mount.   
     
     
         3 . The display device of  claim 2 , wherein the cooling fan further comprises a second intake opposite to the first intake and exposed to the first chamber. 
     
     
         4 . The display device of  claim 3 , wherein the second intake faces the palm rest. 
     
     
         5 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises a second inlet exposed to the first chamber. 
     
     
         6 . The display device of  claim 5 , wherein the housing further comprises:
 a lower wall comprising the first inlet; and   a circumferential wall rising from the lower wall and comprising the second inlet.   
     
     
         7 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the first intake of the cooling fan faces the first inlet of the housing. 
     
     
         8 . The display device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the circuit board further comprises a second heating element, and   the wind shield at least partially partitions the housing into a third chamber comprising the second heating element from the first chamber and the second chamber in the housing.   
     
     
         9 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
 a housing;   a cooling fan in the housing, comprising an intake and a discharge hole; and   a wind shield between the intake of the cooling fan and the discharge hole of the cooling fan, wherein the wind shield at least partially partitions an inner space of the housing.   
     
     
         10 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
 a housing comprising an inlet and an outlet;   a heating element in the housing;   a cooling fan comprising a first intake, a second intake opposite to the first intake, and a discharge hole; and   a wind shield at least partially partitioning the housing into a first region and a second region,   wherein the first region comprises the inlet of the housing and the first and second intakes of the cooling fan, and   wherein the second region comprises the outlet of the housing, the heating element, and the discharge hole of the cooling fan in the housing.
