Description

Technical field

This invention relates to a display, and more specifically, to a display comprising a module that is a camera integrated in a display screen extension. The camera circuitry is integrated with the display circuitry, and signals are transmitted through a single signal transmission unit.

Description of the prior art

Although the majority of PC-related products on the market are characterized by the fact that one product combines several functions, the best example is a cell phone that includes a digital camera, and the lens of the digital camera is mounted on the cell phone body. In addition, to facilitate the PC user to conduct a digital conference via the Internet, the lens of a digital camera is mounted in the frame of a liquid crystal display (LCD).

The products described above carry out the functions of a digital camera or camcorder. However, the digital camera module is independent, which means that it has an independent circuit board and signal transmission unit. The manufacturer of the finished product needs to install a digital camera lens on the product body and connect the signal transmission circuit block to the circuit board circuit board of the main unit.

Therefore, in the process of assembling a digital camera, an additional workstation is required, which leads to an increase in the duration of work and production costs. In addition, the digital camera module must be accommodated in a limited space of the product body, while

the circuitry of the camera takes up space on the printed circuit board, which creates additional difficulties in designing the appearance of the finished product and limits the possibility of reducing its dimensions.

On the other hand, the display screen in displays or cell phones must be made of transparent material to provide light emission, and along the perimeter the display is always attached to the frame or body of the cell phone. The camera module can be installed in places other than the display frame or the cell phone case. However, to date, no attempts have been identified to install the camera within the display screen.

It is quite obvious that the well-known technical solutions in which the camera module is mounted in a frame or display case create many difficulties for manufacturers of products using displays, namely, they complicate assembly, increase the production cost, and complicate the design of the appearance that gives the user a complete visual perception .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main objective of this invention is the creation of a display with a camera, facilitating the assembly of the camera module, reducing the cost of production, the ability to reduce the dimensions of the finished product by integrating the camera circuit into the display circuit, simplifying the ability to replace the display and camera, providing a better appearance and the ability to diversify the product design.

To achieve this, the present invention includes a camera integrated in the extension of the display screen, wherein the camera circuitry is integrated with the display circuitry, and signals are transmitted through a single signal transmission unit. This invention provides the following advantages:

1. Facilitates the development and design of the finished product, because The camera circuit is made in one piece with the display circuit.

2. When assembling the finished product, the camera module is installed at the same time as the display module.

3. This invention improves the maintainability of products using this display.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

According to Fig. 1, an extension is created on the display screen (1) (11, which is attached to the display screen using a transparent adhesive or using the finished product frame (the edges of the extension are pressed by the finished product frame during assembly), and the camera module (2) is built into this extension (11). The electrical circuitry of the camera module (2) is integrated with the electrical circuitry of the display module in one printed circuit board (3), and the signals are transmitted through a single signal transmission unit (31) .All the components described above are mounted on the carrier (4) .

The supporting element (4) may be a frame or body of the finished product, the module of which is this invention. On the surface of the extension (11), a coating is made in which the passage of light is provided. Therefore, with regard to visual perception, the installation of the camera lens can hardly be noticed, which creates the best visual impression for the user, since only the display area is in the field of view. As for the production of a finished product equipped with this display, this invention facilitates the assembly of the camera module and allows you to diversify the design of the finished product.

The display (1) used in this invention may be a flat panel display or another type of display, including a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display (PDP), a field emission display (FED), a liquid crystal display on silicon (LCOS), an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and electroluminescent display (EL), which are used in personal computers, televisions, cell phones or monitoring systems. As shown in a number of schematic diagrams of the present invention shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, the present invention is applicable, respectively, in a cell phone, PDA and a liquid crystal display, while the supporting elements (4A, 4B, 4C) including display bezels (1A, 1B, 1C) are made on the corresponding cases of finished products, and the lenses (2A, 2B, 2C) of the camera are located on the corresponding extensions (11A, 11B, 11C) of the display screens (1A, 1B, 1C).

As shown in FIG. 6, the invention is used in a product having two lenses. The LCD housing is used as a carrier (4D) (including the display frame (1D)). Two lenses (2D) of the camera are located on the extension (11D) of the display screen (1D). The user, when conducting a video conference, can create three-dimensional lifelike images.

Now, consider FIG. 7. It schematically shows that this invention is applied to a finished product equipped with a flash. The cell phone housing acts as a carrier (4E)

(including display frame (1E)). The lens (2E) of the camera and the lighting element (21E) are located on the extension (11E) of the display screen (1E). The lighting element (21E) may be a flash or a light emitting diode (LED).

Claims (3)
