Abstract
A heat sink for electronic devices, such as wearable displays, dissipates heat away from and electrical component, such as a microprocessor. An adjustable support assembly permits adjustment of a visual display relative to a user's field of view.
Claims16
1 A wearable display including
- a headset configured to be worn by a user,
- a visual display assembly including
- a support body supported by the headset and
- a visual display supported by the support body to be positioned forward of a user's eye wearing the headset,
- an electrical component in communication with the visual display, and
- a heat sink in thermal communication with the electrical component, the heat sink including
- a base positioned to receive heat from the electrical component and
- a plurality of heat fins in thermal communication with the base to dissipate heat from the electrical component into the environment.
The wearable display of claim 1, wherein heat sink further includes a lip coupled to the base.
The wearable display of claim 1, wherein the heat sink further includes an extension coupled to the base and positioned inside the support body of the visual display.
The wearable display of claim 1, wherein the plurality of heat fins are arranged side-by-side from a first end of a second end, a first heat fin has a first length, a second heat fin has a second length, and a third heat fin positioned between the first and second heat fins has a third length that is greater than first and second lengths.
The wearable display of claim 1, wherein the heatsink includes a tab that cradles the support body.
A wearable display including
- a headset configured to be worn by a user,
- a visual display assembly including
- a support body supported by the headset and
- a visual display supported by the support body to be positioned forward of a user's eye wearing the headset, and
- an adjustable support assembly coupling the support body to the headset in one of a plurality of positions.
