Fluidic thermal management article and method

Abstract

An article includes a display layer having an outward facing surface and an inward facing surface. The display layer includes a light-emitting device that generates heat and light during use. A thermal transport layer may be secured to the display layer. The thermal transport layer may include a microfluidic layer including a coolant that can transport heat generated by the light-emitting device away from the light-emitting device. An article includes a display structure having a height, a width, and a thickness that define a volume. The display structure can include components that emit light to generate a three-dimensional image within the volume. The display structure includes a stack. The display structure also includes a thermal dissipation layer in contact with the sheet or stack that can transport generated heat from the sheet or stack to a heat absorbing structure.
