Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display panel into distinct functional regions: display areas with liquid crystal pixels and fingerprint recognition areas with photodiode arrays. This spatial segmentation allows independent optimization of each function, reducing interference between display circuits and fingerprint sensing while maintaining both functionalities in a single integrated panel

Inventive Principle:
