Display device with camera module, routing area, and sub-pixels
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12004406B2) discloses a display device with unique features aimed at enhancing functionality and design. The device includes a camera see-through area where a camera module is located below, a routing area for data and scan lines, and a pixel area with sub-pixels containing organic light emitting elements. An interlayer insulating layer extends to the camera see-through area, with the organic light emitting element or cathode also extending to the routing area, maintaining a continuous contour throughout both areas. The device further includes encapsulation layers, a foreign material cover layer, and additional components like overcoating and bank-spacer layers for improved performance.
Moreover, the patent details variations of the display device, such as the absence of sub-pixels in the camera see-through area or routing area, different encapsulation layer configurations, and the exclusion of certain elements like the organic light emitting element or cathode in the camera see-through area. The design also incorporates a translucent electrode for the cathode in specific embodiments. These features aim to optimize the display device's functionality, structural integrity, and visual appeal. Overall, the patent showcases innovative design elements and configurations that could potentially revolutionize display technology in various applications.
