Notched Lower Substrate for Camera Accommodation in Display Panels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses with built-in components like cameras face challenges in minimizing thickness due to the structural thickness of guide panels and substrates, which affects optical characteristics and overall device thickness.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a notched lower substrate in the component disposition area allows components to be accommodated within the substrate, reducing the overall thickness by eliminating the need for additional substrate thickness and enabling better optical access for components like cameras.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a guide panel with supporting parts is used to accommodate the camera, then the camera can be disposed in the display apparatus, but the total thickness of the display apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the camera from the traditional space between the guide panel and panel, and relocates it into a notch formed directly in the lower substrate of the panel. This extraction from the guide panel structure eliminates the need for the guide panel's supporting parts, thereby reducing the overall thickness while maintaining camera accommodation capability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the spatial dimension by creating a notch (a three-dimensional recess) in the lower substrate, allowing the camera to be embedded within the panel's thickness rather than adding to it. This dimensional reconfiguration enables the camera to occupy space that would otherwise be part of the panel's internal structure, thus avoiding increased total thickness
2Length of stationary object
If the lower substrate is made thinner to reduce total thickness, then the overall device thickness decreases, but the optical characteristics of the camera are affected
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies local quality by creating a notch in the lower substrate at the specific location where the camera is disposed. This localized structural modification allows the lower substrate to be thin overall while providing a specific region (the notch) that accommodates the camera with appropriate optical clearance, thus maintaining optical characteristics without compromising overall thickness reduction
3Adaptability or versatility
If supporting parts are added to the guide panel to create space for the camera, then the camera can be mounted, but the complexity of the structure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the camera accommodation function directly into the panel's lower substrate by forming a notch, eliminating the need for separate guide panel supporting parts. This merging of functions into a single integrated structure (the notched lower substrate) reduces structural complexity while maintaining the camera mounting capability
