Expanded Heat Sink for Electronic Displays and Method of Producing the Same
First Claim
1. An expanded heat sink for transferring heat from an electronic display component to a path of cooling air, the expanded heat sink comprising:
- a continuous sheet when viewed along the path of the cooling air and oriented horizontally, defines a series of four-sided polygons having top, bottom, left side, and right side portions where either the top or bottom portions are absent from each polygon.

Abstract
An expanded heat sink for transferring heat from an electronic display component to a path of cooling air is disclosed. A continuous sheet may define a series of channels where the cooling air is blown through the channels and along the continuous sheet. When viewed along the path of the cooling air and oriented horizontally, the continuous sheet may define a series of four-sided polygons having top, bottom, left side, and right side portions where either the top or bottom portions are absent from each polygon. The absent top portions may be supplied by a front plate or the rear portion of an electronic display. The absent bottom portions maybe supplied by a rear plate. One or more components of the electronic display may be placed in thermal communication with the sheet and/or front/rear plates to transfer heat from the components to the cooling air.
