Embedded Sensor Display Screen for High Screen-to-Body Ratio
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional display screens face a limitation in increasing the screen-to-body ratio due to the placement of front optical sensors in non-display areas, which hinders further enhancement of this ratio and prevents the inclusion of sensors in high-screen-to-body-ratio displays.
Innovation Solution
The display screen is designed with a first and second non-display area, where the second non-display area is embedded within a first opening area, allowing the front sensor to be placed without reducing its arrangement, thus enabling a higher screen-to-body ratio while maintaining sensor functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the front optical sensor is placed in the traditional non-display area, then the sensor can be arranged to achieve additional functions, but the screen-to-body ratio cannot be further increased
Solution Approach 1:
The non-display area is divided into a first non-display area and a second non-display area. The first non-display area surrounds the display area, while the second non-display area is embedded in the first opening area of the display area. This segmentation allows the front optical sensor to be placed in the second non-display area without occupying the traditional non-display area, thereby enabling both sensor arrangement and increased screen-to-body ratio.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new spatial arrangement by embedding the second non-display area within the first opening area of the display area, effectively utilizing a different dimensional approach. This allows the sensor to be positioned in an otherwise unused space, resolving the conflict between sensor placement and screen-to-body ratio optimization.
2Area of stationary object
If the frame is continuously compressed and narrowed to increase screen-to-body ratio, then the aesthetic appeal is improved, but the front sensor cannot be placed in high screen-to-body ratio displays
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the non-display area into first and second non-display areas, the patent creates a dedicated space (second non-display area) for the front optical sensor within the display area. This allows the frame to be compressed for higher screen-to-body ratio while maintaining sensor placement capability through the embedded second non-display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The second non-display area is embedded within the first opening area of the display area, creating a nested structure. This nesting allows the sensor to be housed within the display area itself, enabling frame compression for higher screen-to-body ratio while preserving sensor functionality.
3Area of stationary object
If the width of the first non-display area is reduced to improve screen-to-body ratio, then the aesthetic appeal is enhanced, but the front sensor arrangement is influenced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the non-display area into first and second non-display areas with distinct functions. The first non-display area can be reduced in width for aesthetic appeal and higher screen-to-body ratio, while the second non-display area embedded in the first opening area ensures proper sensor arrangement is maintained.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the non-display area are assigned different qualities and functions. The first non-display area serves as a surrounding frame that can be minimized for aesthetics, while the second non-display area embedded in the first opening area provides the specific local quality needed for sensor arrangement, ensuring both aesthetic enhancement and proper sensor placement.
