Multi-Angle Display Camera for Seamless Selfies
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices with camera functions require users to look directly at the front camera for high-quality selfies, preventing them from viewing the screen simultaneously, and fail to capture images from multiple angles effectively.
Innovation Solution
A display device with multiple micro photosensitive imaging components discreetly placed on the screen surface, allowing objects to be photographed from various angles and processed into a high-quality composite image using integrated image processing chips.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single front camera is disposed at the upper part of the display for capturing selfies, then the camera structure is simple, but the user cannot simultaneously view the screen and capture high-quality images
Solution Approach 1:
The single front camera is segmented into multiple micro photosensitive imaging components (at least three) disposed at different positions on the display surface. Each component captures images from different angles, allowing the system to simultaneously achieve high image quality and enable the user to view the screen while being photographed.
2Measurement precision
If multiple micro photosensitive imaging components are disposed on the display surface to capture images from multiple angles, then image quality and user experience are improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple micro photosensitive imaging components are merged into a unified camera system that shares common control and processing architecture. The images captured by different components are processed and synthesized by a single image processing unit, reducing overall system complexity despite having multiple imaging components.
Solution Approach 2:
The display surface serves multiple functions: it acts as both the display interface and the camera component mounting surface. The micro photosensitive imaging components are integrated directly into the display structure, eliminating the need for separate camera modules and reducing device complexity.
3Measurement precision
If images from multiple angles are captured and processed into a composite image, then image quality is improved, but the image processing time and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing images from multiple angles simultaneously rather than sequentially. The micro photosensitive imaging components are positioned to capture the entire scene at the same moment, eliminating the need for time-consuming sequential capture and alignment of multiple images.
