Movable Reflective Member for Display Luminance Uniformity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Full screen displays face a luminance difference issue due to overlapping areas with embedded devices like cameras, causing user dissatisfaction as the image quality varies between transparent and opaque emission zones.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a movable reflective member between the display panel and auxiliary member to overlap specific areas, reflecting light and reducing luminance differences between transparent and opaque emission zones, enhancing user satisfaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If an additional device is arranged inside the main body to achieve full screen display, then design satisfaction is improved, but luminance difference occurs between overlap area and other areas
Solution Approach 1:
A reflective member is introduced as an intermediary component between the auxiliary member and the display panel. This reflective member redirects light that would otherwise be blocked by the auxiliary member, converting it into useful light that exits through the overlap area. This mediator approach resolves the luminance difference by adding a light redirection mechanism without changing the fundamental full-screen layout.
Solution Approach 2:
The solution introduces a spatial dimension by positioning the reflective member at an angle between the display panel and the auxiliary member. Instead of addressing the luminance issue in the same plane, the reflective member uses a different spatial dimension (angled light path) to redirect light, thereby achieving uniform luminance across the display area while maintaining the full-screen configuration.
2Illumination intensity
If a reflective member is arranged to reflect light, then luminance difference is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The reflective member is designed with movable capability, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position or angle. This dynamic feature enables the system to optimize light reflection based on different operating conditions while maintaining a relatively simple structural configuration. The movability provides flexibility without requiring complex multi-component mechanisms.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively minimizes luminance differences between emission zones, providing uniform image quality and user satisfaction by reflecting light from the reflective member, thus addressing the issue of varying image quality in full screen displays.
Implementation Method 1
light emitted from the display panel toward the inside of the main body may be reflected in the outside

AI summary
A display apparatus includes a display panel having a first area and a second area, a main body supporting the display panel, an auxiliary member arranged in the main body, and a reflective member arranged between the auxiliary member and the display panel, wherein the reflective member may movably be provided to overlap the first area or the second area. Therefore, light emitted from the display panel toward the inside of the main body may be reflected in the outside, and a luminance difference between the first area and the second area of the display panel may be prevented from occurring, whereby a user's satisfaction for an image may be enhanced.
