A device includes a micro-organic light emitting diode (μ-OLED) display panel and an electronic component. An electrical connector electrically couples the μ-OLED display panel and the electronic component. A standoff is disposed between the electronic component and the μ-OLED display panel. The standoff physically couples the electronic component and the μ-OLED display panel with a gap therebetween. The gap thermally decouples the electronic component from the μ-OLED display panel. A U-shaped heat sink can be disposed in the standoff, and heat generated by the μ-OLED display can be mitigated by a system fan when a U-shaped heat sink is disposed in the standoff.

Cable assemblies for providing electrical communication between hinged sections of an electronic device are described. The cable assemblies can include a cover that covers one or more cables that run through a hinge region of the electronic device. The cable and cover can be drawn over a mandrel of the hinge region. The cover and the portions of the mandrel can be visible to a user at the hinge region of the electronic device. The cover can be sufficiently rigid to guide a path of the cable and protect the cable from bending beyond a prescribed angle during rotation of the electronic device at the hinge region. The cover can also be sufficiently rigid to prevent ceasing or folding of the cover and the cable during rotation of the electronic device at the hinge region.

The cable assemblies can also include a hinged cover that can be pivoted to close a gap between two hinged sections of the electronic device.
