- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a heat sink for electronic devices, and circuit board and plasma display panel assembly, each equipped with the heat sink, and more particularly to a heat sink for electronic devices, and circuit board and plasma display panel assembly each equipped with the heat sink that is capable of reducing noise.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In general, a circuit board, which is installed in various electronic apparatuses, is equipped with a plurality of electronic devices and performs programmed operations through the interaction with these electronic devices.
- These electronic devices are supplied with electric power and perform predetermined operations. Some of these electronic devices generate heat and vibration according to their operational characteristics during operation.
- The electronic devices that generate heat and vibration are exemplified by a Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET).
- The MOSFET is applied to a Plasma Display Panel (PDP) to discharge electricity in each of the cells of the PDP. The MOSFET generates heat while switching on/off voltage supplied to each of the cells of the PDP.

heat radiation fins 3 c through thecontact portion 3 b of theheat sink 3, and radiated to the air through the heat radiation fins 3 c. - Electromagnetic force is generated in the
MOSFET 2 when theMOSFET 2 switches on the voltage, while electromagnetic force is eliminated when theMOSFET 2 switches off the voltage. Accordingly, when theMOSFET 2 is turned on/off to perform this switching operation, electromagnetic force is repeatedly generated and extinguished, thereby vibrating theMOSFET 2. - When the
MOSFET 2 vibrates, a vibration is transmitted to theheat sink 3 that is used to cool theMOSFET 2. The transmitted vibration vibrates the plurality ofheat radiation fins 3 c of theheat sink 3, and consequently generates noise. Since the heat radiation fins 3 c vibrate in proportion to the distance from thebase portion 3 a fastened to thecircuit board 1, theheat radiation fins 3 c generate noise in proportion to their distance from thebase portion 3 a. - In particular, where the conventional heat sink for electronic devices is applied to a television set of a home theater system and generates excessive noise, users may complain about the excessive noise of products.

- As described in detail above, when a vibration is transmitted from the MOSFET, the heat radiation fins of the heat sink of the present invention are designed to have widths so that the vibration magnitudes of the heat radiation fins are restricted to less than a certain level. Accordingly, noise that may be caused by the vibration can be reduced.
- Furthermore, as the noise generated in the heat sink is reduced, noise that may be generated in the circuit board and the PDP panel, each equipped with the heat sink of the present invention can be reduced.
