An electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application may include: casing 1, display screen 2 and camera 3.

It should be noted that "electronic device 100" as used herein includes, but is not limited to, devices configured to receive/transmit communication signals via a wireline connection, such as via a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), a digital cable, a direct cable connection, and/or another data connection/network, and/or via a wireless interface (e.g., for a cellular network, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a digital television network such as a DVB-H network, a satellite network, an AM-FM broadcast transmitter, and/or another communications electronic device 100). A communication electronic device 100 arranged to communicate over a wireless interface may be referred to as a "wireless communication device", a "wireless device", and/or a "mobile device". Examples of mobile devices include, but are not limited to, satellite or cellular telephones; personal Communications System (PCS) devices that may combine a cellular radiotelephone with data processing, facsimile and data communications capabilities; PDAs that may include radiotelephones, pagers, internet/intranet access, Web browsers, notepads, calendars, and/or Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; and a conventional laptop and/or palmtop receiver or other electronic device 100 that includes a radiotelephone transceiver.

As shown in fig. 3, 5 and 6, the display 2 is mounted to the housing 1, and the display 2 may include a first display area 21 and a second display area 22, and the first display area 21 may have a lower pixel density than the second display area 22. The display effect of the display screen 2 is related to the pixel density of the display screen 2, the display screen 2 with high pixel density can present better clear display effect, and the display screen 2 with low pixel density has better light transmittance than the display screen 2 with high pixel density. Thus, the light transmittance of the first display region 21 having a lower pixel density is higher than that of the second display region 22.

As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 7, the plurality of cameras 3 are provided, the plurality of cameras 3 are spaced in the housing 1, the plurality of cameras 3 are opposite to the first display area 21 to capture at least two initial photographs at different positions of the first display area 21, and then a target photograph which is not interfered by pixels of the first display area 21 is synthesized from the at least two initial photographs. It will be appreciated that the number of cameras 3 may be two, three, four or more.

therefore, when a user uses the electronic device 100 to shoot, part of light reflected by the scenery can pass through the gap between two adjacent pixel points in the first display area 21 of the display screen 2 and enter the camera 3, and the shooting of the initial photo can be completed after the processing of the camera 3. Therefore, a plurality of initial photos can be collected by the plurality of cameras 3 positioned at different positions of the first display area 21, and effective pixels of the plurality of photos are synthesized through a software algorithm, so that a clear and complete photo can be obtained.

It should be noted that, when the camera 3 shoots, the pixel located in the first display area 21 can block part of the light, so that shooting of a picture with complete pixels cannot be completed, the plurality of cameras 3 are arranged at different positions of the first display area 21, the plurality of cameras 3 can respectively collect pictures at different positions of the first display area 21, so that the blocked parts of the pictures collected by each camera 3 can be staggered with each other, then effective pixels of the plurality of pictures are synthesized through a software algorithm, and further a target picture which is not interfered by the pixels of the first display area 21 can be obtained.

According to electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the application, camera 3 sets up in casing 1 to reduce the space of display screen 2 that camera 3 took, promoted electronic device 100's screen and accounted for the ratio, realized comprehensive screen. In addition, through setting up first display area 21 and second display area 22 on display screen 2, the pixel density of first display area 21 is less than second display area 22, a plurality of cameras 3 set up towards first display area 21, camera 3 is when shooing, the light that the scenery reflected out can pass the non-pixel region entering camera 3 of first display area 21, accomplish and shoot the formation of image, utilize a plurality of cameras 3 to gather two at least photos in the different positions of first display area 21, and can obtain a target photo that is not sheltered from by the pixel of first display area 21 through the synthesis to gathering the photo, and then guaranteed camera 3's shooting quality when realizing the full screen.

according to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, 5 and 7, the first display region 21 includes at least one first pixel unit 211, the second display region 22 includes a plurality of second pixel units 221 arranged in an array, and an area of the first pixel unit 211 is larger than an area of the second pixel unit 221. The first display area 21 may include one, two, three, four, or more first pixel units 211, the first pixel units 211 and the second pixel units 221 may present various colors, and by setting the first pixel units 211 with a larger area, the light transmittance of the first pixel units 211 is higher than that of the second pixel units 221, so that the shielding of the first pixel units 211 on incident light is reduced, and the area of effective pixels of photographs taken by the camera 3 is further increased.

in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the area of each of the first pixel units 211 is equal to an integer multiple of the area of the three second pixel units 221. The area of the first pixel unit 211 may be equal to one, two, three, or more times the area of the three second pixel units 221. Therefore, the light transmittance of the first pixel unit 211 is higher than that of the second pixel unit 221, so that the shielding of the first pixel unit 211 on incident light is reduced, and the area of effective pixels of a picture taken by the camera 3 is increased.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, each of the first pixel unit 211 and the second pixel unit 221 includes three sub-pixels R (R shown in fig. 5), G (G shown in fig. 5), and B (B shown in fig. 5), and a pitch between two adjacent sub-pixels of the first pixel unit 211 is greater than a pitch between two adjacent sub-pixels of the second pixel unit 221. When the camera 3 shoots, the light reflected by the scenery can penetrate through two adjacent sub-pixels, and because the distance between two adjacent sub-pixels of the first pixel unit 211 is larger than the distance between two adjacent sub-pixels of the second pixel unit 221, the first pixel unit 211 can penetrate through more light, so that the shielding of the first pixel unit 211 on incident light is reduced, and the area of effective pixels of the picture shot by the camera 3 is further improved.

It should be noted that the sub-pixel R, the sub-pixel G, and the sub-pixel B may be combined by different output percentages, so that the first pixel unit 211 or the second pixel unit 221 presents different colors, and thus the sub-pixel R, the sub-pixel G, and the sub-pixel B may be combined into any one color.

further, as shown in fig. 5, the sub-pixel R, G, B of the first pixel unit 211 and the sub-pixels R, G, B of three second pixel units 221 with equal spacing in the adjacent pixel rows are respectively located in the same sub-pixel column. In other words, the sub-pixel R, G, B of the first pixel unit 211 corresponds to three second pixel units 221 in adjacent pixel rows respectively, wherein the three second pixel units 221 are equally spaced, and the sub-pixel R of the second pixel unit 221 corresponding to the sub-pixel R of the first pixel unit 211 is located in the same sub-pixel column as the sub-pixel R of the first pixel unit 211; the sub-pixel G of the second pixel unit 221 corresponding to the sub-pixel G of the first pixel unit 211 is located in the same sub-pixel column as the sub-pixel G of the first pixel unit 211; the sub-pixel B of the second pixel unit 221 corresponding to the sub-pixel B of the first pixel unit 211 is located in the same sub-pixel column as the sub-pixel B of the first pixel unit 211.

Therefore, the difficulty of setting the sub-pixels can be reduced, the manufacturing period of the first pixel unit 211 and the second pixel unit 221 can be shortened, and the production cost can be reduced. It should be noted that the three second pixel units 221 may be three consecutive second pixel units 221, or one or more first pixel units 211 may be respectively spaced between the three second pixel units 221.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the sub-pixel R, G, B of the first pixel unit 211 is located at a different sub-pixel column from the sub-pixel R, G, B of the first pixel unit 211 located at the same pixel column in the adjacent pixel row. That is, the sub-pixel R of the first pixel unit 211 is located in a different sub-pixel column from the sub-pixel R of the first pixel unit 211 located in the same pixel column in the adjacent pixel row; the sub-pixel G of the first pixel unit 211 is located in a different sub-pixel column from the sub-pixel G of the first pixel unit 211 located in the same pixel column in the adjacent pixel row; the sub-pixel B of the first pixel unit 211 is located in a different sub-pixel column from the sub-pixel B of the first pixel unit 211 located in the same pixel column in the adjacent pixel row. Therefore, the diversity of the positions of the sub-pixels is increased, multiple different imaging effects can be presented, and the sub-pixels in the same column are of different types, so that multiple colors can be synthesized among the sub-pixels in the same column, and the problem that the color of a local position is too single is avoided.

Further, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, three adjacent first pixel units 211 in the same column constitute one synthesized pixel unit, and the sub-pixels R, G, B in the three first pixel units 211 are respectively located in different sub-pixel columns. In other words, the sub-pixels R of the three first pixel units 211 are located in different sub-pixel columns, the sub-pixels G of the three first pixel units 211 are located in different sub-pixel columns, and the sub-pixels B of the three first pixel units 211 are located in different sub-pixel columns. Thus, three first pixel units 211 in the same column can be combined into any color, so that the image formation at the longitudinal (up-down) position of the area where the first pixel units 211 are located is clearer.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 and 9, a cross-section of at least one of the three sub-pixels of the first pixel unit 211 is formed in a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or a polygonal shape. In other words, it may be that a cross-section of one of the three sub-pixels of the first pixel unit 211 forms a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon; alternatively, it may be that cross-sections of two of the three sub-pixels of the first pixel unit 211 form a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon; alternatively, it may be that the cross-sections of the three sub-pixels of the first pixel unit 211 each form a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon. The cross-sectional shapes of the three sub-pixels of the first pixel unit 211 can be designed according to the model and the size of the electronic device 100, so that the display screen 2 of the electronic device 100 can achieve better imaging effect. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 9, the sub-pixels R, G, B of the first pixel unit 211 are each formed in a circular shape in cross section.

in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 and 10, a cross-section of at least one of the three sub-pixels of the second pixel unit 221 is formed in a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or a polygonal shape. In other words, it may be that a cross-section of one of the three sub-pixels of the second pixel unit 221 forms a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon; alternatively, it may be that cross-sections of two of the three sub-pixels of the second pixel unit 221 form a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon; alternatively, it may be that the cross-sections of the three sub-pixels of the second pixel unit 221 each form a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon. The cross-sectional shapes of the three sub-pixels of the second pixel unit 221 may be designed according to the model and size of the electronic device 100, so that the display screen 2 of the electronic device 100 may achieve better imaging effect. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 10, the sub-pixels R, G, B of the second pixel unit 221 are each formed in a circular shape in cross section.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, 5 and 12, the first display area 21 is circular, elliptical or polygonal in shape. From this, can promote the variety of the shape of first display area 21, can select the shape of suitable first display area 21 according to the model and the size of electron device 100 for better imaging effect can be realized to electron device 100's display screen 2. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the first display area is rectangular in shape.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, 2, 11 and 12, the first pixel unit 211 is plural, the plurality of sub-pixels of the plurality of first pixel units 211 are arranged in a ring shape, and the plurality of first pixel units 211 are spaced apart along a circumferential direction of the ring shape. Therefore, the light transmittance of the first display area 21 can be enhanced by the plurality of sub-pixels arranged in the ring shape, so that the light incoming amount of the camera 3 during shooting is increased, and the shooting effect of the camera 3 is further improved. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 11, there are two first pixel units 211, and the plurality of sub-pixels of the two first pixel units 211 are arranged in a ring shape. As another example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 12, eight first pixel units 211 are disposed in the first display area 21, and each circular ring is formed by two groups of first pixel units 211.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 13, the first pixel unit 211 is a plurality of first pixel units 211, and the plurality of sub-pixels of the plurality of first pixel units 211 are arranged in a plurality of concentric rings. Therefore, the plurality of sub-pixels arranged in a concentric ring shape can improve the light transmittance of the first pixel unit 211, so as to improve the light incident amount of the first display area 21, and further improve the shooting effect of the camera 3. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 13 and 14, six first pixel units 211 are disposed in the first display area 21, and are arranged in three concentric rings.

further, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 13, the sub-pixels on two adjacent concentric rings are arranged alternately. Therefore, the sub-pixels arranged in a staggered mode can improve the uniformity of picture display, and the areas covered by the concentric rings can show different colors by combining different output percentages of the sub-pixels, so that the display effect of the first display area 21 is improved. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 13, three concentric rings are provided, and the sub-pixels on two adjacent concentric rings are staggered to improve the uniformity of the picture display.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 14, and fig. 15, the sub-pixels on two adjacent concentric rings are in a one-to-one correspondence, and a connection line of the one-to-one correspondence two sub-pixels extends along a radial direction of the ring where the connection line is located. Therefore, the control and adjustment of the percentage of the output of each sub-pixel are facilitated, so that the areas covered by the concentric rings can present different colors, and the display effect of the first display area 21 is improved.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, 2, 14, and 15, three sub-pixels in one-to-one correspondence on adjacent three rings are configured as one first pixel unit 211. Therefore, the three sub-pixels corresponding to the three rings one by one include the sub-pixel R, the sub-pixel B and the sub-pixel G, and the sub-pixel R, the sub-pixel B and the sub-pixel G can be combined through different output percentages, so that the areas covered by the concentric rings can present different colors, and the display effect of the first display area 21 is improved.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, 2, 14 and 15, adjacent three sub-pixels on the same ring shape are configured as one first pixel unit 211. Therefore, the three sub-pixels on the same ring include the sub-pixel R, the sub-pixel B and the sub-pixel G, and the sub-pixel R, the sub-pixel B and the sub-pixel G can be combined through different output percentages, so that the area covered by the annular first pixel unit 211 can present different colors, and the display effect of the first display area 21 is improved.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 and 8, a sub-pixel 2111 controllable to be transparent is included between two adjacent sub-pixels of the first pixel unit 211. Therefore, when the image is not shot, the transparent sub-pixels 2111 can display colors, and the two adjacent transparent sub-pixels 2111 of the first pixel unit 211 and the transparent sub-pixels 2111 between the two sub-pixels can be displayed together, so that the image realized by the display screen 2 is finer and clearer. At the time of photographing, the transparent subpixel 2111 between two adjacent subpixels of the first pixel unit 211 may be controlled to become transparent, so that the transparent subpixel 2111 may not block light reflected from a subject, thereby completing normal display and photographing.

It should be noted that the transparent sub-pixel 2111 may be made of a transparent material, the transparent sub-pixel 2111 may display normally when operating, and the transparent sub-pixel 2111 may be transparent when not operating. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the transparent sub-pixel 2111 may not be provided between two adjacent sub-pixels of the first pixel unit 211.

according to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the display screen 2 is an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen, a Mini LED (Micro Light-Emitting Diode) screen or a Micro LED (Micro Light-Emitting Diode) screen. OLED screen, MiniLED screen or Micro LED screen are from luminous screen and do not need the backlight to save the board in a poor light among the correlation technique, and then reduced display screen 2's thickness, promoted display screen 2's luminousness.

In addition, the voice coil motor can drive the lens 31 to move smoothly along the plane parallel to the first display area 21, and the space occupied by the voice coil motor is small, so that the compactness of the camera 3 can be improved, and the camera 3 is miniaturized.

Further, the voice coil motor drives the lens 31 to move to a plurality of different positions in the left-right direction to take at least one picture at each position. From this, camera 3 is when shooing, and the light that the scenery reflected out can pass first display area 21 to enter camera 3's camera lens 31, accomplish the shooting of first photo after camera 3 handles, voice coil motor can drive camera 3's camera lens 31 and produce certain displacement along left and right directions afterwards, and accomplish the shooting of second photo, so on and so on, through shooing many photos in a plurality of positions, and synthesize the effective pixel of many photos, and then can obtain a clear and complete photo.
