The invention is directed toward a heat conductive sheet that has flexibility, can follow a specific shape such as ruggedness and curvature, which can therefore insure high adhesion and, at the same time, excellent heat releasing property, is free from the occurrence of wrinkle and rupture or elongation, even when the thickness is decreased, and is excellent in formability of sheet formation and in bonding work. Such heat conductive sheet includes a substrate and a heat conductive resin layer applied to at least one surface of the substrate, wherein the heat conductive resin layer is constituted as to contain a binder resin and a heat conductive filler dispersed in the binder resin.

Heat conductive sheet and method of producing the sheet

To provide a reflection sheet, using a thinner, lower stiffness film, for use in surrounding a straight tube type fluorescent lamp in an edge type liquid crystal display panel back light device, which reflection sheet can realize a higher brightness of the back light device. A reflection sheet comprising: a film support having a thickness of 25 to 50 &mgr;m and, applied on a surface of the support, a reflective paint coat comprised of a mixture of a resin binder of a (meth)acrylate copolymer with a small particle balloon having a particle diameter of 0.05 to 10 &mgr;m and an inside empty diameter to particle diameter ratio of 0.2 to 0.9.
