Display Device Camera Under Panel Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of panel openings and assembly in display devices, particularly in mobile phones, is increased by the need for multiple sensors such as infrared sensors when technologies like Notch, FPS, and CUP are combined, leading to a complicated assembly of flexible printed circuit boards.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a first and second display region, where the second display region has a lower pixel density and is configured into a red-green-blue array, with a camera part positioned corresponding to the second display region, allowing for integrated optical photographing without separate sensors, simplifying panel openings and assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sensors (infrared sensor, fingerprint sensor, front camera) are separately installed in the panel, then each sensor function can be achieved, but the panel requires many openings and assembly becomes very complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple sensors (infrared sensor, fingerprint sensor, front camera) into a single integrated sensor unit. This integration reduces the number of separate openings needed in the panel and simplifies the assembly process by treating the sensors as one unified component rather than multiple separate installations.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated sensor unit performs multiple functions simultaneously - infrared sensing, fingerprint recognition, and front camera operations - all through a single multi-functional component. This universal design allows one sensor unit to replace what would traditionally require three separate sensors, thereby reducing panel complexity while maintaining full functionality.
2Area of stationary object
If Notch technology is adopted to improve screen ratio, then the screen ratio increases, but the panel structure becomes more complex with additional openings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple sensor functions into a single integrated unit that can be positioned in the Notch area, reducing the need for multiple separate openings in the Notch region. This integration maintains the high screen ratio benefit while simplifying the panel structure compared to having separate openings for each sensor.
3Shape
If Lifting camera technology is used to hide the front camera, then the front camera is concealed, but additional openings and assembly complexity are introduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the front camera with other sensors into a single sensor unit that can be concealed within the panel structure. This integration reduces the number of separate lifting mechanisms and openings needed compared to having a standalone front camera installation.

AI summary
A display device and an electronic apparatus both include a display part and a camera part. The display part has a first display region and a second display region. The first display region is around the second display region. A pixel density of the second display region is less than a pixel density of the first display region, wherein a plurality of first sub-pixels within the first display region are configured into a red-green-blue-green array, and a plurality of second sub-pixels within the second display region are configured into a red-green-blue array. The camera part is disposed at a position corresponding to the second display region on a side of the display part. Thus, it can solve a problem of complex panel opening and assembly in the prior art.
