Display Panel Sub-Pixel Density for Under-Screen Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional electronic devices with notches or holes for front cameras and sensors cannot achieve a full-screen display, as these areas cannot display images, limiting the screen-to-body ratio and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A display panel with distinct sub-pixel density distribution areas, where the first area has higher transmittance for under-screen integration of photosensitive components, and a third sub-pixel density area adjacent to the boundary between display areas, driven by a second pixel circuit to match the brightness of the second sub-pixels, blurring the boundary between high and low PPI areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a notch or hole is formed in the display screen for front camera and sensor integration, then photosensitive components can be integrated, but the display area is reduced and full-screen display cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements under-screen integration by nesting the photosensitive component assembly within the display screen structure. The front camera, sensor, and other photosensitive components are positioned behind the display panel, with light transmission areas created in the display layers to allow light passage. This nesting approach enables component integration without sacrificing display area, achieving full-screen display while maintaining functional requirements for photosensitive components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sub-pixel density is reduced in the first display area for under-screen integration, then photosensitive components can be integrated, but the boundary between display areas becomes obvious with bright or dark lines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a transition zone (third sub-pixel density distribution area) with intermediate sub-pixel density between the first display area (lower density for integration) and the second display area (higher density for normal display). This gradual transition in sub-pixel density distribution smooths the boundary between regions, eliminating obvious bright or dark lines and maintaining display uniformity while preserving under-screen integration capability.
