Abstract: An external chassis wall liquid cooling system includes a chassis defining a chassis housing. A chassis wall is located on the chassis and includes a first surface that is located adjacent the chassis housing and a second surface that is located opposite the chassis wall from the first surface and that provides an outer surface of the chassis. A liquid cooling channel is defined by the chassis wall and extends through the chassis wall between the first surface and the second surface. A liquid is located in the liquid cooling channel, and a pump is coupled to the liquid cooling channel and configured to move the liquid through the liquid cooling channel. A fan system in the chassis housing may move air past heat producing components to transfer heat produced by those heat producing components, and the liquid may further dissipate that heat out of the chassis.

Abstract: A display device with compact integrated structural design in a portable information handling system may have a narrow or no border. The display device with compact integrated structural design may include a combined display assembly that is fixed to an A-cover using selected means of attachment. The combined display assembly may internally integrate a backplate, a backlight, a liquid crystal display (LCD) cell, and a cover glass. The cover glass may be direct bonded to the LCD cell without direct attachment to the A-frame.

Abstract: A touch user interface may be implemented at a display edge, such as a display included with a portable information handling system. An edge touch element may provide structural support for the display along with touch functionality. The edge touch element may be integrated with a touch panel included with the display. The edge touch element may wrap around to a back face of the display.

Abstract: A touchpad may include multiple tactile switches for click event functionality. The use of the multiple tactile switches may improve tactile feedback for a user and may improve a service lifetime of the touchpad.

Abstract: A portfolio cover for a portable information handling system may include a display portion and an input device portion and a cover portion separated by two hinge sections. The display portion, the input device portion and the cover portion may be reinforced with a polymer laminate and laminated together, while the hinge sections may remain unlaminated.

Abstract: Methods for manufacturing an ultra-thin display assembly with integrated touch functionality may include edge bonding a laminate layer to a backlight portion of an LCD module. A display portion of the LCD module may be direct bonded to a cover glass including a transparent conductive electrode layer. The cover glass may be manufactured from a large glass sheet and may have an edge polymer deposited on edges of the cover glass, a conductive polymer layer over the transparent conductive electrode layer, and a smart polymer at the edges of the cover glass.
