Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a field of display devices and in particular, to a display device with an under-screen camera.
- With development of liquid crystal display technology—especially the development of full-screen technology, there has been an increasing demand for a display device (such as a tablet computer and a smart phone) which has an opening in the display region and has an in-plane camera (i.e., an under-screen camera) set therein to increase a screen ratio of the display region. A conventional display device comprises a display panel, a backlight module disposed under the display panel, a glass cover disposed above the display panel, and a camera module disposed under the glass cover. The backlight module is further provided with a camera hole for accommodating the camera module. In addition, upper and lower polarizing films attached to upper and lower surfaces of the display panel are also provided with via holes corresponding to the camera hole, so that the camera module can shoot images through the display panel.
- Since light of the backlight module easily leaks through edges of the via holes of the upper polarizing film and the lower polarizing film, shooting performance and image quality of the camera are affected.

-
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a display device with an under-screen camera according to the present invention. - Any embodiment in the following description mean that specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The same terms appearing in different places in the specification are not necessarily limited to the same embodiment, but should be understood as independent or alternative embodiments to other embodiments. In view of the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described herein may have other combinations or modifications in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention.
- Please refer to
FIG. 1 .FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a display device with an under-screen camera according to the present invention. As shown in the drawing, the present invention provides adisplay device 1 with an under-screen camera. Thedisplay device 1 comprises abacklight module 11, a liquid crystal display module 12, and acamera module 15. Thedisplay device 1 is, but not limited to, a smart phone, an in-vehicle touch display, an industrial control display, or other consumer display device. Thebacklight module 11 can optionally provides a side light source or a direct light source; configuration may vary as needed. Thecamera module 15 is a common camera, which is a prior art, so a detailed description thereof is not described herein. - The
backlight module 11 comprises a throughhole 111 defined therein. The throughhole 111 is a camera hole. The liquid crystal display module 12 comprises a display panel 13 and a lower polarizingfilm 122 and an upper polarizingfilm 124 disposed on two opposite sides of the display panel 13. Afirst via hole 123 is defined in the lower polarizingfilm 122. Asecond via hole 125 is defined in the upper polarizingfilm 124 and arranged corresponding to thefirst via hole 123. Alight shielding portion 14 is disposed (preferably, by coating) at two side edges (i.e., a periphery) of thesecond via hole 125. A light-shieldingadhesive material 17 is disposed (preferably, by coating) at two side edges (i.e., a periphery) of thefirst via hole 123. Thecamera module 15 is disposed in the throughhole 111. - The through
hole 111 communicates with the first viahole 123, and the throughhole 111 is arranged corresponding to the first viahole 123. The light-shieldingadhesive material 17 is extended from the first viahole 123 to an inner surface of a peripheral wall of the throughhole 111, thus increasing a light shielding effect. Thelight shielding portion 14 or the light-shieldingadhesive material 17 is made of one of a black ultraviolet (UV) adhesive, a black hot-melt adhesive, black epoxy resin, or other suitable material. Therefore, by using the light-shieldingadhesive material 17 disposed (preferably, by coating) in the first viahole 123 and on the peripheral wall of the throughhole 111, and by utilizing thelight shielding portion 14 disposed (preferably, by coating) on the two side edges of the second viahole 125, light is prevented from leaking from the first viahole 123 and the second viahole 125 of the liquid crystal display module 12 and the throughhole 111, and as a result, shooting performance, image quality, and market competitiveness of thecamera module 15 are improved. - According to the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , thelight shielding portion 14 is disposed on a top surface of the display panel 12, and is disposed in contact with an edge portion of a peripheral wall of the second viahole 125 and connected to the upperpolarizing film 124. Thereby, adhesion and light shielding ability of thelight shielding portion 14 are increased. - A size of each of the through
hole 111, the viahole 123, and the second viahole 125 is greater than or equal to a size of thecamera module 15, so that thecamera module 15 can be accommodated therein. The throughhole 111 and the first viahole 123 together constitute an under-screenblind hole 16 of thedisplay device 1, so that thecamera module 15 can be disposed below the display panel 13, and thereby, a screen ratio of the display region of thedisplay device 1 is effectively increased. Accordingly, a narrow bezel design or even a bezel-less design of thedisplay device 1 can be realized, and a visual experience and visual appeal of thedisplay device 1 are improved. - The display panel 13 further comprises a thin film transistor (TFT)
substrate 131, acolor filter substrate 132, and two light-shieldingadhesive layers 133. TheTFT substrate 131 is disposed on the lowerpolarizing film 122, thecolor filter substrate 132 is disposed on theTFT substrate 131, and the two light-shieldingadhesive layers 133 are sandwiched between theTFT substrate 131 and thecolor filter substrate 132. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 1 , a first end of each of the light-shieldingadhesive layers 133 is disposed near the first viahole 123 and the second viahole 125, and the first end does not extend beyond thelight shielding portion 14. - The liquid crystal display module 12 further comprises an
optical layer 126 disposed on the upperpolarizing film 124 and aglass cover 127 disposed on theoptical layer 126. In a manufacturing process, at last, theoptical layer 126 is filled in the second viahole 125 and wraps thelight shielding portion 14. Theoptical layer 126 is made of an optical clear adhesive (OCA), an optical clear resin (OCA), or other suitable material; and the present invention is not limited in this regard. Specifically, theoptical layer 126 as shown inFIG. 1 fills the second via 125 to bond theglass cover 127 and thecolor filter substrate 132 and achieve other effects. - It is to be understood that the above descriptions are merely the preferable embodiment of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Equivalent changes and modifications made in the spirit of the present invention are regarded as falling within the scope of the present invention.
