Solution Overview

Problem

Current camera under panel (CUP) display devices experience inconsistent resistance and capacitance loading between the conventional display area and the imaging area, leading to horizontal mura in low gray-scale modes due to inconsistent wiring design.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design with a one-to-one correspondence of reset signal lines to rows of pixel driving circuits, where each row of first pixel driving circuits in the conventional display area is connected to a same reset signal line, and each row of second pixel driving circuits in the imaging area is connected to a same reset signal line, with some signal lines crossing both areas to balance loading.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the number of pixel driving circuit rows in the imaging area is reduced to improve light transmittance, then light transmittance is improved, but resistance-capacitance loading consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight transmittanceVSAvoidresistance-capacitance loading consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the wiring structure between the imaging area and conventional display area. Specifically, reset signal lines in the imaging area are designed to serve multiple rows of pixel driving circuits, while scan signal lines are designed to serve only one row each. This localized differentiation ensures that the imaging area maintains consistent resistance-capacitance loading with the conventional display area despite having fewer pixel driving circuit rows, thereby resolving the contradiction between improved light transmittance and maintained reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If signal lines are extended from conventional display area to imaging area, then electrical connection is achieved, but wiring complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidwiring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing reset signal lines that serve multiple functions across different areas. Specifically, each reset signal line in the imaging area is connected to multiple rows of pixel driving circuits, allowing a single signal line to control multiple rows. This multi-functional design simplifies the overall wiring structure by reducing the number of separate signal lines needed, thereby resolving the contradiction between achieving electrical connection and minimizing wiring complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
