Solution Overview

Problem

In display modules using ultrasonic fingerprint identification technology, the attachment of a heat dissipation film with a metal layer causes light leakage and affects the integrated black effect, and the addition of a light shielding sheet to prevent this results in the sheet collapsing and contacting the sensor, thereby impairing identification performance.

Innovation Solution

A display module design featuring a heat dissipation film with a first opening for the ultrasonic fingerprint module and a light shielding sheet with a second opening that exposes the sensor, ensuring the light shielding sheet does not contact the sensor, thus maintaining identification performance and preventing light leakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Illumination intensity

If a light shielding sheet is attached to the heat dissipation film to prevent light leakage, then the integrated black effect is improved, but the light shielding sheet collapses and contacts the sensor, impairing identification performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegrated black effectVSAvoididentification performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The light shielding sheet is segmented into multiple parts: a first light shielding portion attached to the heat dissipation film, and a second light shielding portion extending from the first portion. This segmentation allows the sheet to maintain structural integrity and prevent collapse onto the sensor while still providing effective light shielding for the integrated black effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The second light shielding portion acts as an intermediary structural element that extends between the first light shielding portion and the sensor area. This intermediary structure provides mechanical support to prevent collapse while maintaining the light shielding function, thus resolving the contradiction between preventing light leakage and avoiding sensor contact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the light shielding sheet is attached to the entire opening of the heat dissipation film, then light leakage is prevented, but the sheet collapses due to thickness difference and gravity, contacting the sensor surface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight leakageVSAvoidsheet structural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The light shielding sheet is divided into a first light shielding portion for attaching to the heat dissipation film and a second light shielding portion extending from it. This segmentation creates a structural configuration where the second portion provides additional support to prevent collapse while maintaining coverage for light shielding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The light shielding sheet extends in multiple dimensions: the first portion attaches to the heat dissipation film plane, while the second portion extends outward in a different dimensional direction. This multi-dimensional configuration provides structural rigidity against gravity while maintaining the light shielding function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
