An electronic eyewear device having temples that are lightweight, aesthetically pleasant, and include thermal management. The temples each have a thermally conductive stiffener with a non-thermally conductive overmolded material forming a window. The window in each temple exposes interior components, such the stiffener to ambient air, and allows heat generated by electronic components to be released to ambient air to cool the components through convection. The windows also allow the stiffeners to be coupled to tooling and are easily overmolded. The windows provide both an aesthetic feature and a functional feature.

Overmolded temple with thermal management window

A device having a dual-inverted L antenna (DILA) and an LC tank circuit configured to improve specific absorption rate (SAR) hotspots. The SAR hotspots are split between a first aperture defined between the DILA and a daughter printed circuit board (PCB), and the second aperture defined between the daughter PCB and a battery casing. A main PCB is coupled to battery by a flexible circuit board (FCB). The DILA is configured to radiate RF energy at a first frequency, and the LC tank circuit is configured to radiate RF energy at a second frequency to improve bandwidth.
