Abstract: A portable electronic device can include a housing defining an aperture and a display positioned in the aperture. The portable electronic device can include a number of components that can provide desired functionalities and levels of performance. For example, the device can include one or more couplers that interconnect various portions of the housing together. Additionally or alternatively, the portable electronic device can include one or more millimeter-wave antennas. Additionally, or alternatively, the electronic device can include one or more grounding elements or layers that reliably and electrically ground the display to the housing.

Abstract: An electronic device that includes a circuit board and a shield designed to cover the circuit board is disclosed. The shield can provide radio frequency shielding, thermal energy dissipation, and desense mitigation. The shield provides added structural benefits. For example, the thermal assembly can be made with a non-metal material, such as graphite. Further, the thermally assembly may include multiple graphite layers secured by adhesive layers. Additionally, the shield can rely upon adhesives/tapes to adhere to a metal wall located on a perimeter of the circuit board. In this manner, the shield can provide a compliant body that conforms to the position and location of the metal wall, account for tolerance variations in the metal wall, and thus prevent bending of the metal wall, as opposed to using rigid metal bodies. Based on the adhesive properties, the shield requires no holes for fasteners.
