Solution Overview

Problem

The main technical difficulty in under-screen camera design for OLED displays is the low light transmittance, which adversely affects the imaging quality of cameras placed under the screen.

Innovation Solution

A display substrate is designed with a first display region having a lower sub-pixel density and a second display region with higher sub-pixel density, utilizing pixel arrangements of real GRB and GGRB respectively, and incorporating light-shielding layers to enhance light transmittance and maintain high display quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the sub-pixel density is increased to improve display resolution, then the display quality is improved, but the light transmittance is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidlight transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different sub-pixel arrangements to different regions of the display. The first display region uses a real GRB arrangement with lower density for high light transmittance, while the second display region uses a GGRB arrangement with higher density for high resolution. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by allowing each region to optimize for its specific function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The display is segmented into two distinct regions with different pixel densities and arrangements. The first display region is segmented for camera functionality with reduced pixel density, while the second display region is segmented for high-quality display with increased pixel density. This segmentation allows simultaneous optimization of both light transmittance and display resolution in different areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Illumination intensity

If the sub-pixel density is reduced to increase light transmittance, then the light transmittance is improved, but the display resolution is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight transmittanceVSAvoiddisplay resolution
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the display are assigned different quality levels. The first display region has lower sub-pixel density optimized for light transmittance, while the second display region has higher sub-pixel density optimized for display resolution. This local quality differentiation allows the system to achieve high light transmittance where needed without sacrificing overall display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The display is divided into segments with different functional priorities. The first display region is segmented for maximum light transmission to the under-screen camera, while the second display region is segmented for high-resolution display output. This functional segmentation resolves the contradiction by distributing different performance requirements to different spatial zones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Duration of action of stationary object

If the green sub-pixel luminous area is increased to extend service life, then the service life is improved, but the pixel density is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice lifeVSAvoidpixel density
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The green sub-pixels in the first display region are designed with larger luminous areas compared to conventional designs. This local enhancement of green sub-pixel size in the low-density region extends their service life without requiring increased density across the entire display, thus resolving the contradiction between service life and pixel density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
