Abstract
A system for increasing the temperature of a display element includes a heat source configured to perform a user experience function independent of generating heat. The system also includes a thermally conductive element that is coupled to the heat source and is positioned proximate to the display element, forming a thermally conductive path between the heat source and the display element. A method for increasing the temperature of a display element includes generating heat by operating a heat source to perform a user experience function independent of generating heat, and dispersing the heat from the heat source to the display element via a thermally conductive path formed by a thermally conductive element coupled to the heat source and positioned proximate to the display element.
