1Area of stationary object
If pixel driving circuits are integrated in the optical component region, then the screen-to-body ratio is increased and display functionality is maintained, but light transmittance and photosensitive performance are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The pixel driving circuits are extracted from the optical component region and relocated to the display region. Specifically, the pixel driving circuits are arranged in a first pixel drive unit column located in the display region, while the light-emitting elements remain in the optical component region. This separation allows the optical component region to have high light transmittance for photosensitive devices while the display region contains the driving circuits.
2Adaptability or versatility
If pixel driving circuits are integrated in the optical component region, then display functionality is maintained, but overall display quality is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the spatial dimension by arranging pixel drive unit columns at different locations. The first pixel drive unit column is positioned in the display region adjacent to the optical component region, allowing electrical connection across regions while maintaining spatial separation of functions. This dimensional arrangement enables both display functionality and high display quality.
3Illumination intensity
If pixel driving circuits are positioned outside the optical component region, then light transmittance and photosensitive performance are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the pixel drive unit columns into a unified arrangement in the display region. The first pixel drive unit column contains multiple first pixel driving circuits that are electrically connected to light-emitting elements in the optical component region. This consolidation simplifies the overall device structure by having all pixel driving circuits in one location rather than distributed throughout.
