Abstract

A portable information handling system integrates a display film having OLED pixels to a housing with a graphene foam having graphene particles disposed in an intermediary material with varied orientations that promote thermal transfer from the display film. For example, graphene particles disposed in a silicon resin to form the foam couples between a portable housing and a display film to transfer thermal energy to the portable housing from the display film.

Claims (40)

1. An information handling system comprising:

a housing having first and second rotationally coupled housing portions;

a processor disposed in the housing and operable to execute instructions that process information;

a memory disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory storing the instructions and information;

a display film interfaced with the processor and having plural OLED pixels that cooperate to present the visual images; and

a graphene foam composite disposed between the display film and the housing and configured to conduct thermal energy from the display film in an X-plane.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the graphene foam composite comprises:

a silicone resin; and

graphene particles suspended in the silicon resin and oriented to direct thermal energy from the display film along a perpendicular axis relative to the display film.

3. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the graphene foam couples directly against the display film.

4. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the graphene foam comprises a graphene elastomer having a polyurethane resin.

5. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the graphene foam has a direct contact against both the housing and the display film.

6. The information handling system of claim 1 further comprising a graphene sheet disposed between the graphene foam and the display film.

7. The information handling system of claim 1 further comprising a graphene sheet disposed between the graphene foam and the housing.

8. The information handling system of claim 1 further comprising:

a hinge rotationally coupling the first and second housing portions;

wherein the display film and graphene foam composite are disposed across the hinge.

9. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the display film comprises a plastic substrate.

10. A method for supporting a display film in an information handling system housing, the method comprising:

suspending graphene particles in a resin to define a graphene foam composite having a planar form;

coupling the graphene foam between the information handling system housing and a display film;

presenting visual images at the display film; and

transferring thermal energy generated as a byproduct of the presenting visual images through the graphene foam in an X-plane to the housing.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the display film comprises plural OLED pixels that cooperate to generate the visual image.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the display film further comprises a plastic substrate.

13. The method of claim 10 wherein the suspending graphene particles in a resin further comprises suspending the graphene particles in a silicone resin.

14. The method of claim 10 wherein the coupling the graphene foam further comprises coupling the graphene foam directly to the display film.

15. The method of claim 10 wherein the coupling the graphene foam further comprises coupling the graphene foam directly to the housing.

16. The method of claim 10 further comprising coupling a graphene sheet between the housing and the graphene foam.

17. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

rotating first and second portions of the housing about a hinge; and

supporting the display film with the graphene foam at the hinge between the first and second housing portions.

18. A display structure comprising:

a display film having OLED pixels that cooperate to present a visual image;

a housing configured to hold the display film; and

graphene particles suspended in an intermediary material as a graphene foam to transfer thermal energy from the display film along an X-plane to the housing.

19. The display structure of claim 18 wherein:

the display film comprises a POLED; and

the graphene particles intermediary material comprises a silicon resin.

20. The display structure of claim 19 further comprising a graphene elastomer disposed on at least one side of the graphene foam.
