Abstract
A system and method is provided for heating the LCD display of an electronic device and especially a small electronic device as for example a laptop computer. The system consists of a heat spreader plate attached to a back surface of the LCD. A heat absorption plate is used to absorb heat generated by the electronic components of the electronic device. A heat transfer conduit is used to transfer the heat from the heat absorption plate to the heat spreader plate where the heat is dissipated to the LCD display. The method requires the absorption of heat generated by the electronic device and the transfer of such heat to the LCD display.
