Meta describes a display system that uses a flexible heat spreader to connect a screen to the device's housing. This material helps move heat away from the display and into the outer shell to manage temperature.
In the filing’s own words
The disclosed display system may include a housing having an inner surface, and one or more display devices housed within the housing. The display system may also include a flexible heat spreader coupled to a surface of one of the display devices and the inner surface of the housing to thermally couple the display device to the housing. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
