We have performed two dimensional heat transport analysis and calculated temperatures in an OLED panel. The panel temperatures can easily rise in excess of 10 K. Further we have investigated loss of heat through the metal lines for the extent by which they could lower the temperature. However, this method leads to gradients in temperature which could in turn cause inhomoge- neities in a display. But, in lighting panels, it will be feasible to cool the devices from both the sides, which is shown to have a significant impact. The thermal transport model presented here for displays is more exten- sive in its approach and hence likely to provide more accurate results. Keywords: Cooling, Displays, OLED 1. Introduction of device lifetime is indeed dependent on the specific mechanism, but it is often found to be exponential [1],
