detailed description

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a terminal screen according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal screen may include a substrate 10 and a display layer 20 located above the substrate 10.

The display layer 20 is used to implement a display function of a terminal screen. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the display layer 20 includes a main display area 21 and n auxiliary display areas 22, where n is a positive integer. Both the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 have display functions. The number of the auxiliary display areas 22 may be one or plural. In FIG. 1, the number of the auxiliary display areas 22 is assumed to be schematically described.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the display layer 20 includes two different types of display areas, the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22, but the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 are a unified whole in physical structure, that is, The display layer 20 is an integrated structure, which is not divided into a plurality of independent components.

If the display layer 20 includes multiple independent components, and these components are spliced to form the display layer 20, there must be a certain gap at the splicing position, which eventually results in a gap between the display content of each component and the entire display layer cannot be reached. The display content of 20 is seamless and seamless.

However, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 are a unified whole in physical structure, there is no gap between the two, so the display content of the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area There is also no gap between the display contents of 22, so that the display contents of the entire display layer 20 are completely integrated without gaps.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the content displayed in the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 is not limited. For example, the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 can display different parts of the same user interface, and the display contents of the two are integrated and have no gap, giving the user a better full-screen experience.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the i-th auxiliary display area in the main display area 21 and the n auxiliary display areas 22 has different manufacturing attributes, and i is a positive integer less than or equal to n.

When the display layer 20 includes one auxiliary display area 22, the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 have different manufacturing attributes.

When the display layer 20 includes a plurality of auxiliary display regions 22, the main display region 21 may have different manufacturing attributes from any one of the auxiliary display regions 22, or may have different manufacturing attributes from the plurality of auxiliary display regions 22, for example, The main display area 21 may have different manufacturing attributes from each of the auxiliary display areas 22. In addition, the plurality of auxiliary display areas 22 may have the same manufacturing attributes, or may have different manufacturing attributes.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the manufacturing attribute refers to a physical attribute formed at the time of manufacturing. Optionally, the manufacturing attributes include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: resolution, light transmission performance, pixel characteristics, and manufacturing process.

In one example, manufacturing attributes include resolution. Optionally, the resolution of the main display area 21 is greater than the resolution of the i-th auxiliary display area. The “resolution” referred to in the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be referred to as a display resolution or a screen resolution, and is an index used to characterize the number of pixels that the screen can display. For example, the resolution of the main display area 21 is 400 ppi (pixels per inch), while the resolution of the i-th auxiliary display area is only 100 ppi or lower. In an extreme case, the i-th auxiliary display area may have only one pixel, that is, the i-th auxiliary display area may only display one single color or a color block formed by RGB mixing per frame.

In another example, manufacturing attributes include light transmission properties. The light transmission performance of the main display area 21 is different from that of the i-th auxiliary display area. For example, after the same light passes through the main display area 21 and the i-th auxiliary display area, there is a difference in the wavelength, amplitude, or phase of the emitted light. Optionally, when the light transmission performance indicates the ability of light to pass through the medium, the light transmission performance of the main display area 21 is worse than that of the i-th auxiliary display area. The light transmittance can be expressed by light transmittance, which is a percentage of the light flux and the incident light flux transmitted through a medium (such as the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 in the embodiment of the present disclosure). Light transmittance can also be referred to as transmittance. Optionally, the light transmittance of the i-th auxiliary display area is greater than 30%. In a possible case, the i-th auxiliary display area is completely transparent, that is, the light transmittance of the i-th auxiliary display area is 100%.

In yet another example, the manufacturing attributes include pixel characteristics. The pixel characteristics refer to physical characteristics of the pixels formed in the display layer 20 and include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: pixel size, pixel distribution density, and pixel distribution form.

In a possible implementation manner, the main display area 21 and the i-th auxiliary display area have the same pixel distribution form, but at least one dummy pixel exists in the i-th auxiliary display area. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the left part (a) of FIG. 2 shows the pixel distribution form of the main display area 21, and the right part (b) of FIG. 2 shows the pixel distribution form of the i-th auxiliary display area. It can be seen from the figure that the pixel distribution patterns of the two are the same, but there are some dumb pixels in the i-th auxiliary display area (such as the shaded pixels in the figure). In one case, a dumb pixel refers to a pixel that can emit light, but its luminous ability is weaker than a normal pixel. In another case, a dumb pixel refers to a pixel that cannot emit light. Exemplarily, the implementation of the dummy pixel includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the dummy pixel has no access circuit, the dummy pixel does not have a Thin Film Transistor (TFT), and the dummy pixel does not have or lacks a material for light emission Or manufacturing layer, for example, for an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen, the pixel definition layer (PLD) can be closed in a certain pixel area, thereby realizing the pixel area as a non-luminous dummy pixel . When the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 have the same pixel distribution form, the process production of the display layer 20 is easier.

In another possible implementation manner, the main display area 21 and the i-th auxiliary display area have different pixel distribution patterns. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the left part (a) of FIG. 3 shows the pixel distribution form of the main display area 21, and the right part (b) of FIG. 3 shows the pixel distribution form of the i-th auxiliary display area. It can be seen from the figure that the pixel distribution patterns of the two are not the same. When the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 have different pixel distribution patterns, the process production of the display layer 20 is more complicated. However, if the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 have different pixel distribution forms, but have the same pixel size and pixel distribution density, the light transmittance of the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 can be made closer to each other, and the display brightness can also be improved. Get closer and enhance the display effect.

In yet another example, the manufacturing attributes include a manufacturing process. The manufacturing process refers to a process step used to manufacture the display layer 20. Optionally, the manufacturing process of the i-th auxiliary display area is based on the manufacturing process of the main display area 21, further adding, reducing, or modifying a certain / some process step. In one example, in order to make the light transmittance of the i-th auxiliary display area larger than the light transmittance of the main display area 21, some process steps may be added to remove the material that affects the light transmittance in the i-th auxiliary display area, and appropriately Fill some transparent materials so that the i-th auxiliary display area and the main display area 21 have the same thickness, but have different light transmittances.

In addition, the main display area 21 has a color display function. Any one of the auxiliary display areas 22 (such as the i-th auxiliary display area) may have a monochrome display function or a color display function. Wherein, the auxiliary display area 22 having a monochrome display function means that the entire auxiliary display area 22 can present only one color at a time, and can display different colors at different times. The auxiliary display area 22 has a color display function, which means that the entire auxiliary display area 22 can present a plurality of different colors at the same time, for example, some pixels appear red, and other pixels appear brown.

Optionally, a functional device is provided below the auxiliary display area 22. Functional devices include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: a camera, a handset, a light sensor, a distance sensor, a biosensor, an environmental sensor, a food safety detection sensor, a health sensor, and an optical transmitter. Among them, the camera is used to implement shooting functions, such as a common camera, an infrared camera, a depth camera, and the like. The handset is used to implement the sound playback function. The light sensor is used to collect the ambient light intensity. The distance sensor is used to collect the distance of the object in front. Biosensors are used to identify the user's biological characteristics, such as fingerprint recognition sensors, iris recognition sensors, and so on. Environmental sensors are used to collect environmental information, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and air pressure sensors. Food safety detection sensors are used to detect indicators of some harmful substances in food, such as optical sensors, biometric sensors, and so on. The health sensor is used to collect the user's health information, such as a sensor used to collect the user's heart rate, blood pressure, heartbeat, or other body data. Optical transmitters are functional devices used to emit light, such as infrared transmitters or some transmitters used to emit other light.

A functional device may be set under one auxiliary display area 22, or multiple functional devices may be set, for example, a camera and a distance sensor are set under a certain auxiliary display area 22. In addition, when the display layer 20 includes a plurality of auxiliary display areas 22, some of the above-mentioned functional devices may be provided below the auxiliary display area 22, and some of the auxiliary display areas 22 may not be provided with the above-mentioned functional devices, and two different auxiliary display areas The same or different functional devices can be set under 22, for example, a camera and a distance sensor are set under one auxiliary display area 22, and a fingerprint recognition sensor is set under another auxiliary display area 22.

Optionally, the n auxiliary display areas 22 include at least one of the following:

1. The first auxiliary display area 22a located at a notch formed at the top edge of the main display area 21, as shown in FIG. 4;

2. The second auxiliary display area 22b, which is located at a notch formed on the left edge of the main display area 21, as shown in FIG. 5;

3. The third auxiliary display area 22c, which is located at a notch formed on the right edge of the main display area 21, as shown in FIG. 6;

4. The fourth auxiliary display area 22d, which is located at a notch formed at the bottom edge of the main display area 21, as shown in FIG. 7;

5. A fifth auxiliary display area 22e located at a notch portion formed in the middle of the main display area 21, as shown in FIG.

It should be noted that the type of the auxiliary display area 22 included in the display layer 20 may be designed according to actual needs. For example, the display layer 20 may include only the above-mentioned first auxiliary display area, and a functional device such as a camera, a distance sensor, etc. is disposed below the first auxiliary display area. For another example, the display layer 20 may include the first auxiliary display area, the second auxiliary display area, and the third auxiliary display area. A camera and a distance sensor are provided below the first auxiliary display area, and a lower portion is provided below the second auxiliary display area. There is a light sensor, and an environmental sensor is arranged below the third auxiliary display area. For another example, the display layer 20 may include the first auxiliary display area and the fourth auxiliary display area. A camera and a distance sensor are disposed below the first auxiliary display area, and a fingerprint recognition sensor is disposed below the fourth auxiliary display area. For another example, the display layer 20 may include the first auxiliary display area and the fifth auxiliary display area. A camera and a distance sensor are disposed below the first auxiliary display area, and a fingerprint recognition sensor is disposed below the fifth auxiliary display area. The above description is merely exemplary and explanatory, and is not intended to limit the technical solutions of the present disclosure.

Considering that there is usually limited space below the edge portion of the terminal screen, if the auxiliary display area 22 is located in the gap formed by the edge of the main display area 21, it is more suitable for smaller functional devices to be arranged in the auxiliary display area 22. Below, if the auxiliary display area 22 is located in a gap formed in the middle of the main display area 21, it is more suitable for some functional devices with larger volume to be disposed below the auxiliary display area 22. In practical applications, the position of the auxiliary display area 22 can be reasonably designed according to the functional devices required to be set in the terminal, so as to provide sufficient space for the functional devices and better meet the user's usage habits.

It should also be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cut shape of the auxiliary display area 22 is not limited, and may be a regular shape such as a rectangle, a rounded rectangle, a circle, or a water drop shape, an arc shape, or the like. Irregular shape.

In addition, in the examples shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 8 above, only a notch portion is formed at the edge or middle of the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 is located at the notch portion as an example. In some other possible embodiments, the main display area 21 may not be formed with a gap, and the auxiliary display area 22 is located beside a certain side of the main display area 21 and is closely connected to the main display area 21. Alternatively, the display layer 20 may include both the auxiliary display area 22 of the notch portion formed by the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 located beside a certain side of the main display area 21. Please refer to FIG. 9, which exemplarily shows several possible positional relationships between the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22.

Optionally, the terminal screen has a regular shape, and the regular shape includes any one of the following: rectangle, rounded rectangle, and circle. Of course, in some other possible embodiments, the terminal screen may also have an irregular shape, which is not limited in this disclosure.

In addition, the substrate 10 may include a first substrate region located below the main display region 21 and n second substrate regions located below the n secondary display regions 22 respectively. The projection area of the main display area 21 on the substrate 10 is the first substrate area; the projection area of any auxiliary display area 22 on the substrate 10 is the second substrate area corresponding to the auxiliary display area 22.

In a possible implementation manner, the first substrate region and the n second substrate regions are all made of the same material. That is, the substrate 10 is a whole plate made of the same material. For example, the substrate 10 may be made of glass or PI.

In another possible implementation manner, the first substrate region and the at least one second substrate region are made of different materials. For example, the first substrate region and the j-th second substrate region of the n second substrate regions are made of different materials, and j is a positive integer less than or equal to n. Exemplarily, the first substrate region is made of a PI material, and the j-th second substrate region is made of a glass material. Glass materials have better light transmission than PI materials, but glass materials are rigid materials and cannot be bent, and PI materials can produce flexible screens. In the above manner, since the first substrate area corresponding to the main display area 21 is made of PI material, most of the area of the terminal screen can be bent to achieve a flexible screen design, but the second substrate area corresponding to the auxiliary display area 22 The light-transmitting glass material is used to make the working performance of the light-sensitive devices such as a camera and a sensor disposed under the auxiliary display area 22 better.

Of course, in some other implementation manners, the first substrate region may be made of glass of the first attribute, and the j-th second substrate region is made of glass of the second attribute, wherein the first attribute and the second attribute Are two different properties. For example, the glass of the first attribute and the glass of the second attribute have different glass fiber compositions. Alternatively, the first substrate region may be made using the PI of the third attribute, and the j-th second substrate region is made using the PI of the fourth attribute, where the third attribute and the fourth attribute are two different attributes. For example, the PI of the third attribute is yellow PI, and the PI of the fourth attribute is color PI. The transmittance of the color PI is better than that of the yellow PI.

It should be noted that the substrate 10 of the terminal screen has an integrated structure, that is, the main display area and the auxiliary display area are formed on one substrate. If the first substrate region and the second substrate region are made of the same material, the substrate 10 is a whole board made of the same material; if the first substrate region and the second substrate region are made of different materials, the The related process splices the first substrate region and the second substrate region with no gap at the splicing place to form a substrate 10 with an integrated structure.

The display layer 20 is usually controlled by a driver IC. In one example, the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 share the same driving IC. For example, a driving IC can be divided into two parts, one part is used to drive the main display area 21 and the other part is used to drive the auxiliary display area 22. In another example, the main display area 21 and the auxiliary display area 22 use different drive ICs. For example, the terminal screen includes two drive ICs, one of which is used to drive the main display area 21 and the other drive IC is used to drive the auxiliary display area 21 Display area 22. In addition, when the display layer 20 includes a plurality of auxiliary display areas 22, the plurality of auxiliary display areas 22 may share the same driving IC or may use different driving ICs, which is not limited in this disclosure.

In addition, the terminal screen may include a touch sensing layer and a glass cover in addition to the substrate 10 and the display layer 20 described above. The touch-sensitive layer is located on the display layer 20, and the glass cover is located on the touch-sensitive layer. The touch-sensing layer is used to implement touch-sensing functions, such as detecting clicks, slides, and presses of the user's fingers. The glass cover is used to protect the terminal screen and prolong the life of the screen.

The terminal screen provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen or an OLED screen. When the terminal screen is an OLED screen, it may be a flexible screen or a non-flexible screen.

When the terminal screen is an LCD screen, the display layer 20 may include a TFT array, a liquid crystal layer, and a CF (Color Filter) arranged in order from bottom to top. The substrate located below the display layer 20 may be made of glass material, and the substrate may be referred to as a lower substrate; an upper substrate is usually disposed above the display layer 20, and the upper substrate may also be made of glass material. In addition, a lower polarizer may be disposed under the lower substrate, and an upper polarizer may be disposed above the upper substrate. In addition, the LCD screen also includes a backlight module located under the lower polarizer.

When the terminal screen is an OLED screen, the display layer 20 may include an ITO (indium tin oxide) anode, a hole transporting layer, an organic light emitting layer, an electron transporting layer, and a metal cathode arranged in order from bottom to top. The substrate under the display layer 20 may be made of glass material, plastic, or metal foil or other materials.

Of course, the above description of the hierarchical structure of the LCD screen and the OLED screen is merely exemplary and explanatory, and is not intended to limit the technical solution of the present disclosure.

In one example, a rigid AMOLED (Active-matrix Organic-Emitting Diode) screen is used as an example.
