Abstract
A support arm assembly for a head-worn device includes a metal support arm configured to form a rear face, a bottom face, and a top face of an enclosure for a projector, thermally coupled to the projector to act as a heatsink, configured to structurally attach to a rear structural element of the head-worn device, and configured to structurally attach to an optical element holder of the head-worn device, such that the metal support arm forms a structural support joining the optical element holder to the rear structural element without placing mechanical load on the projector.
