Solution Overview

Problem

Display panels with under-display cameras experience low brightness and poor visual effects in areas where cameras are installed due to increased transmittance and decreased luminescence, leading to inconsistent display brightness compared to other areas.

Innovation Solution

The method involves performing gray-scale conversion and using different gamma curves to map gray-scale values to display voltages for each area, ensuring balanced display brightness by controlling display voltages in different areas of the panel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If display transmittance is increased for the area where the under-display camera is installed, then the camera operation is ensured, but the display luminescence decreases causing low brightness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera operationVSAvoiddisplay luminescence
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different gamma curves to different display areas (first display area with under-display camera and second display area without camera) to achieve locally optimized display quality. By mapping gray-scale values to display voltages using area-specific gamma curves, the system ensures the camera area maintains sufficient brightness while allowing other areas to optimize for overall display performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If display transmittance is increased for the area where the under-display camera is installed, then the camera operation is ensured, but the display brightness becomes inconsistent compared to other areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera operationVSAvoiddisplay brightness consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality optimization by applying different gamma curves to different display areas. The first display area (with under-display camera) uses a specific gamma curve optimized for camera compatibility, while the second display area (without camera) uses a different gamma curve optimized for overall display performance. This local differentiation resolves the brightness inconsistency issue while ensuring camera functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the display voltage parameters differently for different display areas by using distinct gamma curves. The gamma curve mapping transforms gray-scale values to area-specific display voltages, allowing the first display area to have different voltage characteristics than the second display area. This parameter differentiation enables each area to maintain optimal brightness characteristics for its specific function.
