Solution Overview

Problem

Display panels with under-screen cameras suffer from low light transmittance in low PPI regions, which affects the display effect of the camera imaging region.

Innovation Solution

The display panel optimizes the conductive lines of the power supply lines in the low PPI region by rearranging them into a meshed structure with specific arrangements and connections, including perpendicular and spaced conductive lines, to improve light transmittance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a meshed power supply line structure is used in the low PPI region, then the wiring coverage is increased, but the light transmittance is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring coverageVSAvoidlight transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The power supply line is segmented into first conductive lines extending in a first direction and second conductive lines extending in a second direction (intersecting with the first direction). This segmentation allows the wiring to be distributed more efficiently, reducing the overall coverage area while maintaining electrical connectivity to all pixel units in the low PPI region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a two-dimensional grid structure using conductive lines extending in intersecting directions (first direction and second direction). This dimensional approach allows power supply lines to reach pixel units without requiring extensive coverage in a single direction, thereby reducing overall wiring area while maintaining light transmittance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Illumination intensity

If conductive lines are arranged to extend from the high PPI region to the low PPI region, then the light transmittance is improved, but the wiring complexity is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight transmittanceVSAvoidwiring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first and second conductive lines serve multiple functions: they provide power supply to pixel units, defines display regions (high PPI and low PPI regions), and enable the under-screen camera function. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated structures, thereby simplifying overall wiring complexity despite the extended coverage.

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

3Area of stationary object

If the density of pixel units is reduced in the first display region, then the area coverage is increased, but the display quality is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearea coverageVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel employs different pixel unit densities in different regions: a first display region with lower density for ambient light transmission and a second display region with higher density for primary display content. This local quality differentiation allows each region to be optimized for its specific function, maintaining overall display quality while enabling ambient light passage for the under-screen camera.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
