Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge in increasing the screen-to-body ratio of electronic devices is that smaller camera module holes obstruct the camera's field of view, affecting shooting quality, while larger holes compromise the aesthetics and structural integrity.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a light shielding member and ink layer between the backlight module and display panel, with strategically designed through holes, to block light leakage and shield internal structures, thereby increasing the camera's field of view and screen-to-body ratio without compromising aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the hole diameter is decreased to increase screen-to-body ratio, then the screen-to-body ratio is improved, but the field of view of the camera module is blocked and shooting quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a light guide plate that redirects light from the backlight module through the camera module hole to illuminate the camera sensor. This transforms the harmful light leakage into a useful function, allowing the hole to serve dual purposes: maintaining screen-to-body ratio while enabling camera operation through optical path redirection in a different dimensional approach
Solution Approach 2:
The light guide plate acts as an intermediary component between the backlight module and the camera module. It mediates the light path by capturing light from the backlight and redirecting it through the camera hole, thus resolving the conflict between needing a small hole for screen ratio and needing light access for camera function
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the hole diameter is increased to improve camera field of view, then the shooting quality is improved, but the screen-to-body ratio deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the optical parameters of the system by introducing a light guide plate with specific optical properties. This allows the hole diameter to remain small while effectively increasing the light-gathering capability through optical redirection, thus improving field of view without sacrificing screen-to-body ratio
3Ease of manufacture
If light shielding members and ink layers are added to block light leakage, then the appearance quality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the light shielding function with the existing backlight module structure by integrating the light guide plate into the backlight assembly. This combines multiple functions (light guidance, shielding, and structural support) into a single integrated component, improving appearance quality while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity
