Display configurations for mobile computing devices

Abstract

A display configuration is disclosed that extends the light emitting and touch sensitive portions of a display panel into an area normally reserved for other optical devices. In this configuration, the optical devices and the display panel are configured to operate together. The display panel may include a hole through the display panel to provide an unobstructed light path to the optical device. The display panel may also include a routing area to provide space for data lines fed to the pixels to be rerouted around the hole. The routing area is partially obscured by the data lines, but is otherwise transparent. Therefore, some display devices may be located behind the routing area and still operate.

Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 813,490, filed on March 4, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to mobile computing devices, and more particularly to display configurations of mobile computing devices that enable display areas to encompass areas used by other devices. Background Art

[0004] Mobile computing devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, virtual assistants, etc.) can interact with users in a variety of ways. Therefore, the front (i.e., user-facing) surface of the mobile computing device can be allocated to various devices that perform various functions. Most of the area of ​​the front surface is typically allocated to a display (e.g., a touch screen display) to facilitate viewing, while separate areas of the front surface are allocated to various other devices for collecting / providing audio and visual information. It is highly desirable to increase the area of ​​the display without increasing the overall size of the mobile computing device; however, the separate areas allocated for the various other devices restrict the display from extending toward the edges of the mobile computing device. Therefore, a display configuration is needed that enables the display area to extend toward the edges of the mobile computing device without repositioning the various other devices that would otherwise expand the mobile computing device. Summary of the invention

[0005] The disclosed method facilitates extending a display panel over and around an area used by an optical device. The disclosed method eliminates the use of large holes in display panels used for various other devices to reduce the size of the non-emitting area required to rewire pixel data lines around the large holes. Instead, the disclosed method uses smaller holes with routing areas in between. The routing areas can provide space for rerouting pixel data lines and can provide partially blocked light to optical devices located behind the routing areas.

[0046] The present disclosure describes configurations of display panels (e.g., for mobile computing devices) that provide a variety of advantages, including (but not limited to) extended viewing areas. A display panel for a mobile computing device (i.e., a computer device, a mobile computing device, etc.) may be located behind a transparent cover glass (i.e., a bezel) that forms a front surface of the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device may also include an optical device configured to sense lighting conditions (e.g., a light sensor), capture an image (e.g., a front-facing camera), and / or provide light (e.g., a flash) through the bezel. Traditionally, the display panel and the optical device occupy different areas of the front surface. Recent advances in display technology (e.g., light emitting diode (OLED) displays) promote extending the emissive display area toward (e.g., to) the edge of the mobile device. By extending the display area of ​​the device toward the edge of the device, the user can experience the benefits of a larger display without experiencing the disadvantages of a larger device. The disclosed technology can be applied to extend the operable portion of the display panel toward the edge of the front surface of the mobile computing device while accommodating the collection / transmission requirements of the optical device that shares the front surface of the device.

[0047] Some optical devices located behind (ie, below) the display may require unobstructed light to operate. Therefore, the display panel may include one or more holes to provide unobstructed light to these optical devices. Figure 1 An example of a mobile computing device is shown in FIG. 1 , which has a display panel extending toward the edge of the device and surrounding the area used by the optical device. FIG. 2 shows the front surface of the mobile computing device 100. The front surface area of ​​the display includes a display panel having an emitting (i.e., active) portion 110, which is configured to emit light (e.g., display images, graphics, and characters). The display panel may also include one or more non-emitting portions 120A, 120B that do not emit light. The location of the non-emitting portion corresponds to the location of the optical device.

[0048] Figure 2 A possible display system (i.e., display panel) that can be used with the mobile computing device 100 is shown in FIG. The display system 200 may include an active area 201 of the display panel, which is controlled by an electronic device to present visual output (e.g., text, graphics, video, images, etc.). The active area 201 of the display panel includes rows and columns of pixels 230. The display panel 200 may include a thin film transistor (TFT) matrix, wherein each pixel 230 of the display panel 200 is coupled to one or more corresponding transistors from the TFT matrix. One or more TFTs of each pixel may be controlled to adjust the light intensity of the pixel. For example, pixels in a row of pixels may be enabled by a signal (e.g., voltage) transmitted by a gate driver circuit 245 on a gate signal line (i.e., signal line) 210. Once enabled, the intensity of each pixel in the row may be adjusted by a signal (e.g., voltage) transmitted by a driver IC 240 on a column data line (i.e., data line) 220 for each column of pixels. It should be understood that references to gate signal lines (or signal lines) and column data lines (or data lines) may be used interchangeably. Furthermore, the data lines and the signal lines may each be referred to as control lines.

[0049] Figure 3 2 is a side cross-sectional view of an active area 201 of a display panel suitable for use in a display system 200 of a mobile computing device 100. As discussed, the active area 201 includes layers that act as light-emitting pixels and is located behind a cover glass 250 of the mobile computing device. The pixels 230 of the display panel 200 may be implemented differently. Figure 3As shown, the display panel may include a cathode layer 270 and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) layer 275 that may be configured to emit light (e.g., by an applied voltage). The light emitted by the pixel (i.e., intensity) may be controlled by a transistor in a TFT layer 280. These layers are supported by a flexible substrate (e.g., polyimide) 285 and encapsulated by a thin film encapsulation layer 265. A transparent touch sensor layer 260 including electrodes for detecting touch may be integrated with an active area 201 of the display panel above (i.e., in front of) the light emitting layer. A polarizing film layer 255 may also be integrated with the active area 201 of the display panel to improve the visual appeal (e.g., contrast) of the pixel. The described layers may be mechanically supported by a protective film layer 290 and may be supported and buffered by a pad, a copper (Cu) sheet layer 295. These layers may be positioned behind a cover glass 250 of a mobile computing device. These layers may be bonded (i.e., laminated) to each other and may be flexible.

[0050] Variations in display panel implementations are possible, and the present disclosure is not limited to Figure 3 For example, the present disclosure describes a display panel that includes a hole (i.e., a display hole) formed through all or part of the layers of the active area 201 (i.e., the active portion) of the display panel 200 to provide a path for light to reach an optical device behind the display panel in a mobile computing device. In addition, the present disclosure describes a display panel having a wiring area that includes signal lines that are rerouted due to the hole. The wiring area may include Figure 3 A subset of the layers shown. For example, the wiring area may not include any light emitting layers (ie, pixels) and / or may not include any TFT layers.

[0051] Figure 4 A side cross-sectional view of a portion of a mobile computing device having a single display hole to accommodate multiple optical devices is depicted. As shown, a display panel 310 having a hole 350 (i.e., through all layers) is located in front of multiple optical devices 325, 335, 345. Each optical device can be configured to emit (i.e., transmit, project) light, receive (i.e., collect, absorb) light, or both transmit and receive light. Figure 4In the example embodiment shown, the mobile computing device includes a first optical device configured to transmit 320 light, a second optical device 335 configured to receive 330 light, and a third optical device 345 configured to transmit / receive 340 light. The light may be any wavelength or group of wavelengths in the visible or infrared portion of the spectrum. Alternatively, the optical device may be configured for other electromagnetic radiation (e.g., millimeter electromagnetic waves). Possible optical devices may include (but are not limited to) sensors, cameras, camera flashes, and flashes. Therefore, the display panel 310 may include a hole 350 to allow multiple optical devices 325, 335, 345 to transmit (i.e., emit) and / or receive (i.e., collect) light without being blocked from the display panel 310. In general, any number of optical devices may be included in the mobile computing device and various combinations of their configurations (e.g., emitters, collectors, both) may be generated. For example, the mobile computing device may include an ambient light sensor configured to receive light, a flood illuminator configured to transmit light, a camera configured to capture a visible image, and a proximity sensor configured to transmit and receive light.

[0052] Figure 5 Depicted Figure 4 Front view of the portion of the mobile computing shown. The hole 350 spans all optical devices 325, 335, 345. In order to extend the display area, there are pixels in the area surrounding the hole 350 on the display panel. Therefore, the signal must be carried from the driver IC 240 (and / or the gate driver circuit 245) located on the first side 401 of the hole to the pixel located on the second (e.g., opposite) side 402 of the hole. Therefore, the data line (and / or signal line) must be routed around the hole. In order to accommodate the wiring, space (i.e., area) must be provided around the hole. The display panel does not emit light in the wiring area around the hole. Therefore, the display panel includes a non-emitting portion 450, which includes the hole 350 and a wiring area (i.e., groove) 410 surrounding the hole. The wiring area can also be referred to as the span around the hole required for wiring. The wiring area includes data lines (and / or signal lines) that carry signals for pixels in the emission portion of the display, but may not include pixels. As a result, the display panel in the wiring area may include a subset of the layers included in the emission portion of the display panel.

[0053] As the hole 350 is made larger to accommodate multiple optical devices, more data lines (and / or signal lines) must be shifted. As a result, the non-emitting portion 450 of the display panel must be made larger to support the increased number of rewired lines. In other words, when the hole is made large enough to accommodate multiple optical devices simultaneously, the routing area 410 (i.e., the groove) around the hole required for routing may make the non-emitting portion of the display larger than acceptable.

[0054] The disclosed display panel method limits the size of the hole to prevent the routing area from becoming too large (i.e., limits the extent to which the emissive portion of the display is reduced). In other words, the disclosed display panel method advantageously uses multiple holes rather than one large hole to provide an unobstructed path to at least one of the multiple optical devices of the mobile computing device.

[0055] Figure 6 A possible front view of a portion of a mobile computing device having multiple display holes and routing areas to accommodate multiple optical devices is depicted. The display panel includes multiple holes rather than one large hole to accommodate multiple optical devices. In particular, the illustrated example includes a first hole 510 and a second hole 520, each of which is smaller than Figure 5 For the example shown, each aperture provides an unobstructed light path to a single optical device. The first aperture 510 provides an unobstructed path for light for the first optical device 515, and the second aperture 520 provides an unobstructed path for light for the second optical device 525. The first aperture 510 and the second aperture 520 are shown as having the same size and shape but this is not required. The disclosed display methods and technologies include any number of display apertures, which can be the same or have different sizes and shapes.

[0056] The first hole 510 and the second hole 520 define a routing area 530 between the holes. The routing area 530 can be used to route data lines that would otherwise need to be rerouted around the single large hole. The routing area 530 between the holes is not emissive (e.g., does not include pixels). Thus, the non-emissive portion of the display includes the holes, slots, and routing areas ( Figure 6 ). The non-emissive portion of a display panel with multiple holes is smaller than that required for a single hole because the required routing paths (ie, slots) around the perimeter of the holes 540, 545 are smaller.

[0057] Figure 7 Depicted Figure 6 . The example embodiment shown includes three optical devices. The first optical device 515 can be configured to transmit and / or receive light via a first unobstructed path 620 provided by the first hole 510 in the display panel 610. The second optical device 525 can be configured to transmit and / or receive light via a second unobstructed path 640 provided by the second hole 520. The third optical device 550 can be configured to transmit and / or receive light via an obstructed path 630 provided by the wiring area 530 between the holes. The wiring area 530 includes data lines that partially block light but other portions can be transparent. For example, the wiring area 530 may not include pixels that would otherwise block light.

[0058] The disclosed display panel method uses the wiring area 530 as the optical path 630 for the optical device 550, recognizing that although the light traveling along this path may be reduced (e.g., due to reflection or scattering), a portion of the light is propagated through the unobstructed wiring area. Therefore, the third optical device 550 can be configured to operate with partially obstructed light. For example, the third optical device 550 can be configured to operate at a lower light intensity or can include added / different components (e.g., an optical device with a larger hole) or characteristics (e.g., increased gain) to compensate for the lost (i.e., blocked / scattered) light.

[0059] The porous plus wiring area method can also facilitate the touch-sensitive portion of the display panel (i.e., the touch sensor layer) to extend toward (e.g., to) the edge of the mobile computing device. The touch-sensitive portion of the display panel (i.e., the touch sensor) may include a first electrode layer having a first transparent conductor pattern (or an opaque mesh pattern without a metal pattern in the center) and a second electrode layer having a second transparent conductor pattern (or an opaque but mesh pattern). The first electrode layer and the second electrode layer may be separated by a dielectric spacer (e.g., silicon dioxide). Alternatively, all touch sensor patterns may use the same metal layer. In this case, in the area where the signals intersect, another metal layer is used as a bridge to prevent electrical short circuits (i.e., in the area where the signals intersect). When the user touches the surface, the current flowing through the electrodes may change, so that the location and duration of the touch can be sensed.

[0060] Figure 8 Describes the use of Figure 6 A possible arrangement of a touch sensor integrated into a mobile computing device. The touch sensor includes rows 810A, 810B, 810C of electrode patterns on a first layer and columns 820A, 820B, 820C of electrode patterns on a second layer. Each electrode pattern includes a transparent conductor forming a unit cell (or a meshed non-transparent conductor forming a unit cell). The unit cells in a row or column are interconnected by conductor segments. The unit cells shown in the example embodiment are square. The size and spacing of the unit cells can be selected so that the holes are not covered by any conductors of the touch screen. For example, no conductor overlaps with the hole in the touch sensor row 810B. This arrangement can facilitate manufacturing because the hole is a hole through the layer in the display panel. The disclosed display panel method prevents the electrodes of the touch screen from overlapping with the physical openings formed in the display panel (i.e., in the touch sensor layer) for the hole without affecting the operation of the touch sensor.

[0061] Fig. 9Flowchart of a method for providing light to multiple optical devices. The method includes arranging 910 optical devices so that an optical device that can operate with partially blocked light is positioned relative to an optical device that can (e.g., can only) operate with unobstructed light (e.g., between the two). The method also includes positioning 920 a display panel in front of the optical device according to the requirements of the optical device. For example, the hole and wiring area of ​​the display panel can be positioned according to the requirements of the optical device so that the optical device that requires unobstructed light is aligned with the hole, and the optical device that requires partially blocked light is not aligned with the hole. Alternatively, the optical device that requires partially blocked light can be aligned with the wiring area of ​​the display panel. The method also includes providing 930 partially blocked light to the device that is not aligned with the hole. The light provided to the device that is not aligned with the hole can be provided through the wiring area, where the data line in the wiring area is partially blocked due to rewiring around the hole. In addition, unobstructed light can be provided 940 to the optical device aligned with the hole in the display panel.

The use of the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items. Unless otherwise stated, specific terms are used in a general and descriptive sense rather than for limiting purposes. As used in this specification, spatially relative terms (e.g., in front, behind, above, below, etc.) are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, the "front surface" of a mobile computing device can be a surface facing the user, in which case the phrase "in front" implies closer to the user. Similarly, a display panel described as being "above" a light-emitting layer can refer to the orientation shown in the drawings, and it should be understood that in use, the device can be rotated so that the display panel is actually below the light-emitting layer.
