Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies face challenges in achieving uniform brightness across different areas of a display substrate, particularly in areas designed for both image display and light transmission, such as under-screen cameras.

Innovation Solution

The display substrate incorporates a first display area for image display and a second display area for both image display and light transmission, featuring a compensation capacitor plate in the first circuit unit and an anode connection line in the second circuit unit, ensuring that both areas maintain consistent brightness when driven by the same data voltage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the second display area is designed for both image display and light transmission (e.g., under-screen camera function), then the light transmission capability is improved, but brightness uniformity deteriorates due to different structures between first and second display areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight transmission capabilityVSAvoidbrightness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the circuit configurations between the first display area (image display only) and second display area (image display + light transmission). Specifically, the first circuit unit includes a compensation capacitor plate connected to the first anode electrode, while the second circuit unit includes an anode connection line connecting the second anode electrode to the light emitting device. This localized structural differentiation allows each area to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall brightness uniformity through coordinated design of these local structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by adjusting the electrical connection parameters between the pixel drive circuit and light emitting devices in different display areas. The first anode electrode is directly connected to the light emitting device, while the second anode electrode is connected through an anode connection line. This parameter modification in the connection structure enables the second display area to achieve both light transmission and image display functions with uniform brightness characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If different circuit configurations are used in first and second display areas to achieve their respective functions, then functional versatility is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple circuit unit types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional versatilityVSAvoidcircuit structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the display substrate into distinct first and second display areas with different circuit configurations. The first display area uses first circuit units with compensation capacitor plates optimized for image display, while the second display area uses second circuit units with anode connection lines optimized for both image display and light transmission. This segmentation allows each region to be independently optimized for its specific functional requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by designing the second circuit unit with an anode connection line that enables the second display area to serve multiple functions - both image display and light transmission (e.g., for under-screen cameras). This multi-functional design allows the same basic circuit structure to support different operational modes, reducing the need for entirely separate circuit systems for different functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
