Display Panel Subpixel Layout for Hole-Free Camera Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display devices require digging holes to accommodate electronic components, such as cameras, which hampers the achievement of a full screen effect.
Innovation Solution
A display panel design featuring a first and second display area, where the second area has a higher light transmittance and is arranged around electronic components, with pixel units comprising a specific ratio of sub-pixels, including red, green, and blue sub-pixels, and metal traces, allowing for increased light transmittance without the need for holes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If holes are dug in the display panel to accommodate electronic components, then electronic components can be installed, but the full screen effect is compromised and light transmittance is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds electronic components within the display panel structure by utilizing the space between pixel units and adjusting pixel arrangements, rather than creating separate holes. The electronic components are nested within the existing display structure, allowing both functions to coexist without compromising light transmittance or visual effect.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different pixel arrangements in different regions: the first pixel arrangement pattern is used in areas where electronic components are located, while the second pixel arrangement pattern is used in other areas. This local differentiation allows optimal light transmittance in component areas while maintaining display quality in other regions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If holes are dug to install electronic components, then component placement is enabled, but display area is reduced and screen uniformity is affected
Solution Approach 1:
Electronic components are nested within the display panel by utilizing the space between pixel units and adjusting pixel arrangements, eliminating the need for separate holes that would reduce display area. The component placement is integrated into the display structure itself.
Solution Approach 2:
Different pixel arrangement patterns are applied to different regions: areas with electronic components use a pattern optimized for component integration, while other areas use a pattern optimized for display quality, thereby maximizing overall display area and maintaining screen uniformity.
3Illumination intensity
If pixel arrangement is adjusted to increase light transmittance, then full screen effect is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements two distinct pixel arrangement patterns for different regions: the first pattern for areas with electronic components and the second pattern for other areas. This localized approach allows optimization of light transmittance in specific regions without requiring complex adjustments across the entire display panel, thereby managing manufacturing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel is segmented into different regions with different pixel arrangement patterns based on the location of electronic components. This segmentation allows each region to be optimized independently for its specific function, simplifying the overall design compared to a uniform complex arrangement.

AI summary
A display panel and a display device are provided. The display panel includes a first display area and a second display area corresponding to a position of an electronic component, wherein a light transmittance of the second display area is greater than a light transmittance of the first display area. A plurality of pixel units are disposed in the second display area, a ratio of a number of the first sub-pixels to the second sub-pixels and the third sub-pixels is 1:1:2 in each of the pixel units of the second display area, and by providing pixels with larger intervals in the second display area, a light transmittance above the electronic component is increased.
