Solution Overview

Problem

The transmittance of film layers in display panels varies by wavelength, particularly for short-wavelength blue light, leading to color distortion during camera imaging due to reduced light signals, affecting the imaging effect and user experience.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a monochrome filter structure with color resists of the same color in the camera module, which filters and collects more light signals of the same color, allowing for signal integration across modules to compensate for missing wavelengths, thereby alleviating color distortion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If the camera module is placed under the display light-transmitting area to achieve ultra-high screen-to-body ratio, then the screen ratio is improved, but color distortion occurs due to wavelength-dependent transmittance of the display panel

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen-to-body ratioVSAvoidcolor accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies color resists with specific wavelength transmission characteristics to compensate for the display panel's wavelength-dependent transmittance. By selecting color resists that transmit complementary wavelengths, the system balances the spectral composition of light reaching the camera sensor, thereby reducing color distortion while maintaining the ultra-high screen-to-body ratio design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a composite optical structure combining the display panel, color resist layers, and camera module in an integrated arrangement. This composite structure allows the different components to work together synergistically, where the color resist layer compensates for the display panel's spectral filtering effect, enabling both high screen ratio and acceptable color accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If the display panel film layer transmits short-wavelength blue light with low transmittance, then the display function is maintained, but the camera imaging quality deteriorates due to insufficient light signals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionVSAvoidimaging quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the optical parameters of the system by introducing color resists with specific transmission characteristics. These color resists are designed to transmit wavelengths that are blocked or attenuated by the display panel, thereby changing the spectral distribution of light reaching the camera sensor and improving imaging quality without compromising display performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If a monochrome filter structure with color resists of the same color is added to the camera module, then the collection of monochromatic light signals is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight signal collectionVSAvoidcamera module structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The color resist layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a spectral filter to enhance monochromatic light transmission, serves as part of the optical path integration structure, and maintains compatibility with the existing display and camera module designs. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
