  • Patent number: 11963288
    Abstract: An assembly for heat-generating components includes a metal and a non-metal layer. To secure to a circuit board that carries a heat-generating component, a metal standoff is secured on a perimeter of the circuit board. Multiple protruding elements of the metal layer of the assembly secure within a respective opening of the standoff. The assembly secures, through metal-to-metal contact, to the standoff by multiple mechanical couplings. The assembly not only covers the circuit board, but also extends laterally beyond the circuit board (and the circuit board components). As a result, the assembly receives thermal energy from a heat-generating component(s) on the circuit board and allows the thermal energy to flow through assembly from one portion of the assembly covering the heat-generating component(s) to the lateral portion of the assembly that does not cover the heat-generating component(s).

  • Patent number: 11955035
    Abstract: The present invention provides a display device, wherein by arranging reels at opposite ends of the flexible display screen, a difference in curling lengths between laminated films of the flexible display screen caused by an increase in a number of curling turns during curling can be effectively relieved. In addition, one end of the inner roll can reduce the stress generated at one end of the outer roll, thereby preventing the layers from falling off, which is beneficial to increase the service life of the flexible display screen.

  • Patent number: 11925002
    Abstract: A casing structure with functionality of effective thermal management is disclosed, which consists of a casing member, a low thermal conductivity medium, a second heat spreader, and a first heat spreader. When a user operates the electronic device, heat generated from CPU and/or GPU is transferred to the second heat spreader via the first heat spreader, and then is two-dimensionally spread in the second heat spreader. Consequently, the heat is dissipated away from the casing member to air due to the outstanding thermal radiation ability of the casing member. The low thermal conductivity medium is adopted for controlling a heat transfer of heat transferring paths from the heat source and ends to the casing member. By applying the casing structure in an electronic device by a form of a top casing and/or a back casing, an outer surface temperature of the casing member can be well controlled.
