Solution Overview

Problem

In electronic devices with display screens, functional modules under the display panel face signal obstruction from pixels and lines, leading to impaired operation, and the differing pixel densities between display regions cause inconsistent brightness and display decay, affecting the overall display effect and consistency.

Innovation Solution

A display screen design with a first display region having a lower pixel density than a second region, featuring minimum repeat regions with pixel units arranged diagonally, increasing the light-transmitting area and balancing brightness across regions to ensure normal module operation and consistent display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If pixels and lines are arranged in the display region to ensure complete display function, then display function is improved, but signal transmission to functional modules is blocked

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionVSAvoidsignal obstruction
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into two distinct display regions: a first display region with a first pixel density and a second display region with a second pixel density. This segmentation allows different areas to serve different functions - one optimized for display quality and the other for signal transmission, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining display function and enabling signal transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different pixel densities are applied to different regions of the display screen. The first display region has a lower pixel density to allow signal transmission, while the second display region has a higher pixel density to maintain display quality. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by optimizing each region for its specific purpose.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If pixel density is increased to improve display quality, then display effect is improved, but brightness consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidbrightness consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different pixel densities to different regions of the display screen. The first display region uses a lower pixel density optimized for signal transmission, while the second display region uses a higher pixel density optimized for display quality. This local differentiation allows each region to have optimal characteristics for its intended function, resolving the contradiction between display quality and brightness consistency.

Principle #3Local quality

3Area of stationary object

If functional modules are arranged under the display panel to increase display region, then display area is improved, but signal transmission is blocked

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidsignal obstruction
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is segmented into two regions with different pixel densities. The first display region with lower pixel density serves as a transmission zone for signals to reach functional modules positioned behind the display panel, while the second display region maintains high pixel density for display quality. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by creating a dedicated signal transmission pathway.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first display region acts as an intermediary zone that facilitates signal transmission from the display panel to the functional modules positioned behind it. By having a lower pixel density in this region, it serves as an optical intermediary that allows signals to pass through while still maintaining some display function, thereby enabling communication between the display structure and underlying functional modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A display screen and an electronic device. The display screen comprises a first display region and a second display region connected to each other. The pixel density of the first display region is less than the pixel density of the second display region. Each of minimum repeat regions in the first display region comprises at least two pixel units, and each of the two pixel units comprises multiple pixels having different light-emitting colors. Pixel units in the same minimum repeat region are all located in the same diagonal direction of the minimum repeat region.
