Solution Overview

Problem

Full-screen display panels exhibit significant chromatic aberration between the camera area and display area, particularly in off-screen states, leading to reduced display effect and user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display module with a supporting layer containing a through hole in the camera area, equipped with a light-enhancing layer and anti-reflection layers to ensure consistent light transmission and reduce chromatic aberration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a through hole structure is used for under-screen camera in full-screen display panel, then camera function is realized and screen integrity is protected, but chromatic aberration between camera area and display area becomes obvious in off-screen state

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera functionVSAvoiddisplay consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by placing specific optical components (light-enhancing layer and anti-reflection layer) only in the camera area through hole, rather than uniformly across the entire display panel. The light-enhancing layer with reflective surface and anti-reflection layer are positioned at specific locations within the through hole to address the chromatic aberration problem locally where it occurs, without affecting other areas of the display panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes optical parameters by introducing a light-enhancing layer with specific reflective properties and an anti-reflection layer with controlled light transmission characteristics. These layers modify the light transmission parameters in the camera area, adjusting the optical path and reducing chromatic aberration to achieve better display consistency between the camera area and surrounding display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If under-screen camera technology is adopted, then black holes in camera area are reduced, but visual observation of camera area becomes possible in off-screen state reducing display effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera area uniformityVSAvoidvisual disturbance
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful effect of visible camera area in off-screen state into a benefit by using the light-enhancing layer with reflective surface. The reflective surface redirects light that would otherwise create visible dark areas or chromatic aberration, transforming the problematic through hole structure into an optical element that improves overall display uniformity while maintaining camera functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary structure - the light-enhancing layer with anti-reflection coating - that mediates between the camera module and the display surface. This intermediary layer controls light interaction in the camera area, preventing direct visual observation of the camera structure while maintaining optical performance and reducing chromatic aberration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
