ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE CONNECTOR

Abstract:

An electronic device that includes a first device portion, a second device portion coupled to the first device portion, and a uni-directional thermally conductive connector coupled to the first device portion and the second device portion. The first device portion comprises a region that includes a component configured to generate heat. The uni-directional thermally conductive connector is configured to dissipate heat away from the first device portion and towards the second device portion. The uni-directional thermally conductive connector includes a thermally conductive material that primarily dissipates heat along a first direction of the thermally conductive material.
