Liquid Crystal Panel Incident Light Control Area Camera Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices with integrated liquid crystal panels and cameras face challenges in capturing clear images due to the interference of light from the display area affecting the camera's incident light control area, leading to suboptimal image quality.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device incorporates a liquid crystal panel with an incident light control area featuring an annular line and control electrodes in different layers with an insulating film, allowing precise control of light transmission to the camera, enabling clear image capture by managing light from the display area effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the liquid crystal panel and camera are integrated on the same surface, then the device can capture clear images, but light from the display area interferes with the camera's incident light control area
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid crystal panel is divided into a display area and an incident light control area, with the latter being further segmented into multiple regions (first incident light control area, second incident light control area, third incident light control area) that can be independently controlled to manage light transmission to the camera
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the liquid crystal panel are assigned different functions: the display area displays images while the incident light control area specifically controls light transmission to the camera, with each region having optimized optical properties for its specific purpose
2Adaptability or versatility
If the camera is positioned to capture images, then imaging function is enabled, but light from the display area affects the incident light control area
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid crystal panel's incident light control area acts as an intermediary between the display area and the camera, using controllable light transmission to block or allow light from the display area from reaching the camera's incident light control area
