  • Patent number: 12127430
    Abstract: A device includes a micro-organic light emitting diode (?-OLED) display panel and an electronic component. An electrical connector electrically couples the ?-OLED display panel and the electronic component. A standoff is disposed between the electronic component and the ?-OLED display panel. The standoff physically couples the electronic component and the ?-OLED display panel with a gap therebetween. The gap thermally decouples the electronic component from the ?-OLED display panel. A U-shaped heat sink can be disposed in the standoff, and heat generated by the ?-OLED display can be mitigated by a system fan when a U-shaped heat sink is disposed in the standoff.
