SYSTEM FOR COOLING AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITHIN A COMPUTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A system for cooling an integrated circuit within a computing device including a digital display, the system comprising:
- an internal heatsink thermally coupled to the integrated circuit and defining a fluid passage comprising a first end and a second end;
a heat exchange layer arranged across a viewing surface of the digital display, comprising a transparent material, and defining a fluid channel extending across a portion of the digital display, the fluid channel comprising a fluid inlet coupled to the first end of the fluid passage and a fluid outlet coupled to the second end of the fluid passage;
a transparent fluid; and
a displacement device configured to circulate the transparent fluid between the internal heatsink and the fluid channel.
