Display Screen With Through Hole for Optical Device Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As mobile terminals become increasingly feature-rich, the space constraints lead to a reduction in display area due to the mounting of additional devices, necessitating a solution to maximize screen size without increasing the terminal's size.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a display screen with a first through hole that integrates a frame, display module, and positioning structure, allowing for the placement of optical devices like cameras within the screen's thickness direction, thereby optimizing space and maintaining a larger display area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If more devices are mounted on one side of the mobile terminal, then the functionality of the mobile terminal is improved, but the display area of the display screen becomes smaller
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the thickness direction (Z-axis) of the display screen by creating a through-hole that penetrates the display module and frame. This allows optical devices to be positioned within the thickness direction rather than on the display surface, effectively using three-dimensional space to resolve the conflict between functionality and display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The optical device is nested within the through-hole structure that is formed by removing material from both the display module and frame. This nested arrangement allows the optical device to be integrated into the display screen assembly without occupying additional lateral space, thereby maintaining the display area while adding functionality.
2Length of stationary object
If the size of the mobile terminal does not change, then the portability is maintained, but the display area is reduced due to device mounting
Solution Approach 1:
By transitioning from two-dimensional surface mounting to three-dimensional integration within the thickness direction, the patent enables additional functionality without increasing the terminal's external dimensions. The through-hole structure allows optical devices to be embedded within the existing volume of the display screen assembly.
3Adaptability or versatility
If optical devices are placed on the non-display area, then the optical functionality is achieved, but the display area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of placing optical devices on the two-dimensional display surface or non-display area, the patent positions them within the thickness direction through a through-hole. This vertical integration allows optical functionality to coexist with maximum display area by utilizing the Z-axis dimension.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the optical device with the display screen assembly by integrating it into the through-hole structure that penetrates both the display module and frame. This combined structure eliminates the need for separate mounting areas, allowing optical functionality to be incorporated without sacrificing display area.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a display screen, a terminal display screen assembly, and a mobile terminal. The display screen defines a first through hole which penetrates the display screen in a thickness direction of the display screen, and may include: a frame, a display module and a positioning structure. The frame may include a first face and a second face opposite to the first face. The display module may be arranged on the first face of the frame. The positioning structure may be arranged on the second face of the frame. The first through hole may include a first sub-through hole defined in the display module and penetrating the display module in a thickness direction of the display module, and a second sub-through hole defined in the frame and penetrating the frame in a thickness direction of the frame and communicating to the first sub-through hole. The positioning structure is disposed to surround the second sub-through hole.
