Display Panel Groove Design for Full Screen Ratio
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In terminal display apparatuses, the non-display region is often large due to the placement of units like cameras and fingerprint identification units, which hinders the achievement of a full screen and degrades user experience by reducing the screen-to-body ratio.
Innovation Solution
A display panel design featuring a non-display region with grooves and bonding regions that allow for the placement of units like cameras and headphones, while minimizing the occupied space, thereby maximizing the display area and enhancing the screen-to-body ratio.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If units like camera and fingerprint identification unit are installed in the non-display region, then the functionality of the terminal display apparatus is improved, but the non-display region becomes substantially large which reduces the screen-to-body ratio
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the thickness dimension of the display panel by creating grooves that penetrate through the non-display region. This allows units to be positioned in the thickness direction rather than occupying lateral space, thereby maintaining a compact non-display region area while accommodating necessary functional units.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent embeds units within grooves formed in the non-display region, creating a nested structure where functional units are positioned within the depth of the grooves. This nesting approach allows units to be integrated into the display panel structure without significantly increasing the lateral footprint of the non-display region.
2Ease of manufacture
If the non-display region is made large to accommodate units, then units can be properly installed, but the display area is reduced and user experience is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
By utilizing the thickness dimension through penetrating grooves, the patent enables unit installation without expanding the lateral non-display region. This maintains the display area while providing adequate space for unit installation through the vertical dimension.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the non-display region by creating grooves that divide it into distinct areas: a bonding region for adhesive application and groove regions for unit placement. This segmentation allows efficient space utilization and proper unit installation while minimizing the overall non-display region area.
