Under-Display Camera Lens Integration for Full-Screen Modules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The presence of a front camera in electronic devices reduces the screen display ratio and affects the lightness and thinness of the device, leading to issues like 'front hair-shaped' and 'drop-shaped' screen structures.
Innovation Solution
Integrate the lens module of the camera component into the display component, eliminating external assemblies and fixing structures, and position the lens within the display component's light-transmitting layer to minimize space occupation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the front camera is assembled on the electronic device with traditional external assemblies, then the camera function is implemented, but the screen display ratio is reduced and the device becomes heavier and thicker
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the camera lens module with the display component by integrating the lens directly into the light-transmitting layer of the display. This combination eliminates the need for separate camera assemblies and external fixing structures, allowing the screen to achieve full-screen display while the lens occupies minimal space within the display's existing structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions the lens from a traditional three-dimensional external assembly to a two-dimensional integration within the light-transmitting layer of the display. By positioning the lens in a predetermined region of the light-transmitting layer, the design utilizes the display's existing dimensional space more efficiently, eliminating the need for additional assembly space and reducing overall device thickness.
2Length of stationary object
If the lens module is integrated into the display component, then the structural size is reduced, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display component into distinct layers, with the light-transmitting layer serving as the integration platform for the lens. By identifying and utilizing the predetermined region within the light-transmitting layer, the design creates a clear structural division that simplifies the integration process while maintaining manufacturing feasibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The light-transmitting layer of the display serves multiple functions: it maintains its primary role in light transmission for display purposes while simultaneously serving as the mounting structure for the camera lens. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate camera housing structures, reducing overall device thickness without significantly complicating manufacturing.
