FLUIDIC THERMAL MANAGEMENT ARTICLE AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An article, comprising:
- a display layer having an outward facing surface and an inward facing surface, and the display layer comprising a light-emitting device that generates heat and light during use; and
a thermal transport layer secured to the display layer wherein the thermal transport layer is a microfluidic layer comprising a coolant that can transport heat generated by the light-emitting device away from the light-emitting device.

Abstract
An article includes a display layer having an outward facing surface and an inward facing surface. The display layer includes a light-emitting device that generates heat and light during use. A thermal transport layer may be secured to the display layer. The thermal transport layer may include a microfluidic layer including a coolant that can transport heat generated by the light-emitting device away from the light-emitting device. An article includes a display structure having a height, a width, and a thickness that define a volume. The display structure can include components that emit light to generate a three-dimensional image within the volume. The display structure includes a stack. The display structure also includes a thermal dissipation layer in contact with the sheet or stack that can transport generated heat from the sheet or stack to a heat absorbing structure.

37. An article, comprising:
-
a display structure having a height, a width, and a thickness that define a volume, and the display structure can include components that emit light to generate a three-dimensional image within the volume, the display structure comprising a stack; and a thermal dissipation layer in contact with the sheet or stack that can transport generated heat from the sheet or stack to a heat absorbing structure; wherein the stack comprises at least one layer;
the layer comprising;
a substrate;
the components that emit light that are each secured to the substrate; and
a controller that is secured to the substrate;wherein the controller can control the components that emit light to generate a three-dimensional image within the volume, and at least one of the following; the components that emit light are organic electronic devices, and the controller is connected to two or more of the organic electronic devices, or the components that emit light comprise a light-emitting nano-wire based device. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)
