Abstract
An electronic device includes a first device housing coupled to a second device housing by a hinge. A heat spreader is coupled to the first device housing and the second device housing and spans the hinge. A flexible display coupled to the first device housing and the second device housing and spans the hinge. The heat spreader and the flexible display can be coupled to the first device housing and the second device housing, respectively, at different locations. Alternatively, the flexible display can be coupled to the heat spreader at a location that is collocated with the location at which the heat spreader is coupled to the first device housing and the second device housing, respectively.
