Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of multifunctional components for electronic devices. In an exemplary embodiment, a multifunctional component generally includes a base component, such as a smart phone case (e.g., a back cover, etc.), an inner plate (e.g., a screenplate, a mid-plate, etc.). A heat spreader may be disposed on the base component. Thermal interface material and electromagnetic interference shielding may be disposed on area(s) of the heat spreader. The area(s) may correspond in mirror image relation to component(s) of a circuit board with which the multifunctional component is configured to be joined. During operation of the electronic device, the multifunctional component may draw waste heat from one area and transfer/spread the waste heat to one or more other areas of the electronic device, which may increase a temperature of these one or more other areas. This, in turn, may make device temperature more uniform.

Claim (Index 2):
The component of  claim 1 , wherein the component is configured to be operable to facilitate transfer of heat from one or more hotter components of the electronic device to one or more cooler components of the electronic device and to reduce thermal resistance in the electronic device to more efficiently transfer heat to the one or more cooler components and/or to the ambient environment, whereby temperature of the one or more hotter components may be decreased while temperature of the one or more cooler components may be increased, which thereby may make device temperature more uniform and allow heat to be dissipated more uniformly.
