Under-Display Camera Panel for Eye-Tracking Accuracy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices with single camera limitations hinder effective eye-tracking technology, especially in large-screen applications, leading to reduced accuracy and aesthetic issues when multiple cameras are required.
Innovation Solution
A display panel design incorporating multiple camera modules hidden under the display panel, with strategically positioned image capturing regions and pixel modules, including thin film transistors and light-emitting units, to enhance eye-tracking accuracy while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple cameras are added to improve eye-tracking accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple camera modules into a single integrated structure located at the bottom of the display panel. Multiple imaging units are merged into one compact assembly, reducing device complexity while maintaining the capability for accurate eye-tracking through multiple cameras.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera module is designed to serve multiple functions: eye-tracking, facial recognition, and aesthetic mode photography. This multi-functionality allows the same hardware configuration to achieve various goals, including improved measurement precision for eye-tracking, without proportionally increasing device complexity.
2Measurement precision
If multiple cameras are added to improve eye-tracking accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but the appearance aesthetic deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple cameras are merged into a single integrated module positioned at the bottom center of the display panel. This consolidation creates a unified, symmetrical design that maintains appearance aesthetic while enabling accurate eye-tracking through multiple cameras working together.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera module is positioned at the bottom center of the display panel, creating a balanced and symmetrical appearance. This strategic placement avoids asymmetrical distribution of multiple cameras that would compromise aesthetic, while still enabling accurate eye-tracking functionality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If camera modules are positioned on the display panel, then eye-tracking functionality is enabled, but the display area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The camera modules are positioned in the vertical dimension at the bottom edge of the display panel, rather than occupying horizontal display area. This dimensional placement allows eye-tracking functionality to be added without reducing the effective display area, as the cameras are located in the non-display border region.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a display panel, an electronic device, and an operation method of the electronic device. The display panel is divided into a display region and a plurality of image capturing regions. Each of the image capturing regions includes: a camera module; a pixel module disposed on the camera module; and the pixel module includes a plurality of sub-pixel units, each of the sub-pixel units spaced apart on the camera module. By adding a plurality of cameras hidden under the display panel, the invention can not only improve accuracy of eye-tracking technology, but also prevent the problem of reduced appearance aesthetics caused by the plurality of cameras.
