Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a camera is arranged in the display apparatus, then the display apparatus can capture images, but the image quality in the camera region deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is divided into a main display area and an auxiliary display area, with the auxiliary area further segmented into a component area (for camera placement) and an intermediate area. This segmentation allows different regions to serve different functions while maintaining overall image quality.
Solution Approach 2:
Different pixel circuit configurations are used in different regions: main pixel circuits in the main display area and auxiliary pixel circuits in the intermediate area. This local differentiation optimizes image quality in each region while accommodating the camera in the component area.
2Manufacturing precision
If auxiliary pixels are added to improve image quality in the camera region, then image rendering is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The auxiliary pixel circuits in the intermediate area serve multiple functions: they contribute to image rendering in the auxiliary display area and also compensate for image quality in the camera region. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components.
Solution Approach 2:
The auxiliary display area is merged with the main display area through shared pixel circuits and connection lines. The intermediate area acts as a buffer zone that connects both areas, allowing unified control and rendering across the entire display.
3Manufacturing precision
If connection lines are extended to connect auxiliary pixels across the intermediate area, then image rendering is improved, but the number of connection lines increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection lines for auxiliary pixels are extracted and routed through the intermediate area separately from the main display area connection lines. This extraction allows independent optimization of connection paths without interfering with the main display signaling.
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediate area acts as an intermediary zone that facilitates connection between the main display area and the component area. Connection lines passing through this intermediate area serve as mediators, enabling image signal transmission while accommodating the camera placement.

AI summary
A display apparatus includes: a first-first data line located at a first portion of a main display area at one side of an auxiliary display area, and extending in a first direction from the first portion to the auxiliary display area; a first horizontal connection line electrically connected to the first-first data line, and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction; a first vertical connection line electrically connected to the first horizontal connection line, and extending in the first direction from the first portion of the main display area into the second portion of the main display area at another side of the auxiliary display area; a first peripheral connection line electrically connected to the first vertical connection line, and extending in the second direction; and a first-second data line extending in the first direction, and electrically connected to the first peripheral connection line.
