Terminal Screen With Secondary Display Area For Under-Display Optical Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile phone designs face challenges in increasing the screen-to-body ratio while maintaining the functionality of optical devices like cameras and sensors, as these devices' performance is affected by the light transmission properties of the screen when placed underneath the display.
Innovation Solution
A terminal screen design featuring a primary and secondary display area, where the secondary display area has superior light transmission performance, allowing optical devices to be placed underneath without compromising their functionality, by optimizing pixel size, resolution, and pixel control circuit placement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If optical devices are placed underneath the display to increase screen-to-body ratio, then the screen-to-body ratio is improved, but the light transmission performance deteriorates affecting optical device functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into a first display area with standard light transmission characteristics and a second display area with optimized light transmission characteristics. The second display area, where optical devices are positioned underneath, has enhanced light transmission properties that allow optical devices to function normally while maintaining the increased screen-to-body ratio achieved by placing components underneath the display.
2Measurement precision
If the secondary display area has higher resolution to match primary display area, then the display quality is improved, but the light transmission performance may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The second display area is configured with resolution equal to or higher than the first display area while simultaneously optimizing its light transmission characteristics. This local optimization allows high-resolution display in the region underneath optical devices without compromising light transmission, as the pixel structure and optical properties are specifically tailored for this area to balance both resolution and light transmission requirements.

AI summary
A display screen of a terminal includes a substrate, and a display layer over the substrate. The display layer includes a primary display area and a secondary display area. The secondary display area has a resolution equal to or greater than that of the primary display area. The light transmission performance of the secondary display area is superior to that of the primary display area.
