DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0029] In order to make objectives, technical solutions, and
effects of the present disclosure clearer and clearer, the present
disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference
to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood
that specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain
the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present
disclosure.
[0030] Referring to FIG. 1, it is a schematic view of a display
device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the
figure, components of this application and relative positional
relationships between the components are intuitive. The display
device is divided into a camera placement area Al and a non-camera
placement area A2. The display device includes a backlight module
101, a display module 103, and a camera 104.
[0031] A first through hole 102 is defined in the backlight module
101, and a maximum cross section of the first through hole 102
corresponds to the camera placement area Al of the display
device.
[0032] The display module 103 is disposed on the backlight module
101. The display device includes an array substrate 1031, a color
filter substrate 1032 opposite to the array substrate 1031 to form
a cell together with the array substrate 1031, a liquid crystal
layer 1033 disposed between the array substrate 1031 and the color
filter substrate 1032 and corresponding to the non-camera placement
area A2 of the display device, a lower polarizer 1034 disposed on a
side of the array substrate 1031 adjacent to the backlight module
101 and corresponding to the non-camera placement area A2 of the
display device, a built-in upper polarizer 1035 disposed on a side
of the color filter substrate 1032 adjacent to the liquid crystal
layer 1033 and corresponding to the non-camera placement area A2 of
the display device, and a micro-light emitting diode (LED) module
1036 disposed on a side of the color filter substrate 1032 facing
away from the array substrate 1031 and corresponding to the camera
placement area Al of the display device.
[0033] The camera 104 is disposed on a side of the backlight module
101 facing away from the display module 103 and corresponding to
the camera placement area Al of the display device.
[0034] Wherein, the display module 103 includes fingerprint sensors
105 corresponding to the camera placement area Al of the display
device, and projections of sensor units of the fingerprint sensors
105 on the color filter substrate 1032 do not have any overlaps
with micro-LED units of the micro-LED module 1036.
[0035] It should be noted that in embodiments of the present
disclosure, a secondary screen display area having the same
resolution is provided in the camera placement area of the display
device, and an optical fingerprint unlocking architecture is
provided on the display module below the secondary screen display
area. Since a structure of the secondary screen display area is
relatively simple and benefits to a design of the fingerprint
sensor, it can improve accuracy of unlocking and will not affect
function of the main screen display area.
[0036] It should be noted that, the camera 104 is below the display
module 103. When the camera 104 is not working, the micro-LED
module 1036 can display normally while hiding the camera 104. When
the camera 104 is working, the micro-LED module 1036 can be turned
off, and at the same time, if an ambient light is insufficient, the
micro-LED module 1036 can be used as an exposure lamp.
[0037] It should be noted that each micro-LED unit in the micro-LED
module 1036 is directly used as a display, a dimension of the
micro-LED unit can reach a level of a dimension of pixels, and each
LED is individually controlled by a TFT circuit. The TFT circuit
(not shown in the figure) is disposed below the micro-LED module
1036. Micro-LED units in the micro-LED module 1036 are prepared
above the TFT circuits through processes such as mass transfer,
binding, detection and repair, and so on. Wherein, the micro-LED
module 1036 is a transparent display, that is, the camera placement
area Al of the display device can realize display and photographing
functions.
[0038] It should be noted that the color filter substrate 1032
corresponds to a structure of the built-in upper polarizer and the
camera placement area Al of the display device with no photoresist,
so as to ensure that the camera 104 has a large amount of light
entering when taking pictures.
[0039] It should be noted that the built-in upper polarizer 1035 is
made of aluminum, silver, etc. and fabricated on an inner side of
the color filter substrate 1032 by a metal wire grid nanoimprint
method.
[0040] In an embodiment, the fingerprint sensors 105 are disposed
on a side of the array substrate 1031 facing the color filter
substrate 1032.
[0041] In an embodiment, a number of the fingerprint sensors 105
ranges from 15 to 35.
[0042] In an embodiment, the micro-LED units include red micro-LED
units 10361, green micro-LED units 10362, and blue micro-LED units
10363.
[0043] In an embodiment, the micro-LED units are arranged in a
matrix. Any row of the matrix is cyclically arranged in an order of
the red micro-LED unit 10361, the green micro-LED unit 10362, and
the blue micro-LED unit 10363. Colors of the micro-LED units in any
column are the same.
[0044] In an embodiment, the sensor unit of the fingerprint sensor
105 is disposed between two of the micro-LED units in a row.
[0045] In an embodiment, an entire width of the micro-LED module
1036 is greater than an aperture of the first through hole 102, so
as to hide a sealant (not shown in the figure) of the liquid
crystal layer 1033 and a glue iron frame (not shown in the figure)
in the backlight module 101, thereby preventing the display from
being affected or showing black borders.
[0046] In an embodiment, a dimension of the sensor unit of the
fingerprint sensor 105 is comparable to a dimension ofthe micro-LED
unit. The micro-LED unit above the fingerprint sensor 105 can block
reflected light at an angle greater than 20 degrees, so as to
prevent the reflected light from being received by the sensor unit
of the fingerprint sensor 105 below the micro-LED unit, ensure the
sensor unit can receive a difference signal of "ridge" and "valley"
in a fingerprint, and identify the fingerprint to unlock.
[0047] It should be noted that in the description of blocking
reflected light at an angle greater than 20 degrees, 20 degrees is
a value that needs to be reached, because the sensor unit of the
fingerprint sensor 105 needs to receive collimated light or nearly
collimated light.
[0048] In an embodiment, the aperture of the first through hole 102
ranges from 2 mm to 3 mm.
[0049] In an embodiment, a width of any one of the micro-LED units
ranges from 10 um to 50 um.
[0050] In an embodiment, the backlight module 101 includes a light
source 1011 and an optical film unit 1012, the light source 1011 is
disposed on a side of the optical film unit 1012. That is, the
backlight module 101 is a side-in backlight, and the backlight
module 101 performs a digging process in the camera placement area
Al of the display device, and there are no liquid crystals at an
aperture of the dug hole, which is filled by a transparent medium
having a same refractive index as glass. The camera 104 is
specifically disposed at an edge of a light exit side of the
optical film unit 1012.
[0051] In an embodiment, a light blocking layer 106 is provided
inside the first through hole 102. The structural light blocking
layers 106 on both sides are configured to separate a backlight of
a main screen display area and a display of a micro-LED display
area.
[0052] As shown in FIG. 2, it is a graph showing a relationship
between the number of fingerprint sensors and a reflected light
intensity of the display device according to an embodiment of the
present disclosure. It can be seen that when the number of
fingerprint sensors is 15 to 35, a contrast between the valley and
the ridge is relatively large, which is beneficial for realizing
quick unlocking of the fingerprint. In the figure, the abscissa
shows the number of sensors, the ordinate shows the reflected light
intensity, the curve is a simulation curve, and the light is a
collimated light.
[0053] As shown in FIG. 3, it is a schematic diagram showing
arrangements of the micro-LED units and the sensor units of the
fingerprint sensors, which correspond to the camera placement area,
of the display module according to an embodiment of the present
disclosure. The micro-LED units include red micro-LED units 301,
green micro-LED units 302, and blue micro-LED units 303. Wherein,
the micro-LED units are arranged in a matrix. Any row of the matrix
is cyclically arranged in an order of the red micro-LED unit 301,
the green micro-LED unit 302, and the blue micro-LED unit 303.
Colors of the micro-LED units in any column are the same. The
sensor unit 305 of the fingerprint sensor 304 is disposed between
two of the micro-LED units in a row. The sensor unit 305 of the
fingerprint sensor 304 includes, for example, a plurality of CMOS
optical devices or a plurality of CCD optical devices.
[0054] It should be noted that a chip of each micro-LED unit is
fixed on an out-side of the color filter substrate (not shown in
the figure) through a binding process, and an array of the sensor
units 305 of the fingerprint sensors 304 is located between the
chips to ensure that a differential signal in the fingerprint can
be received.
[0055] It should be noted that the arrangements of the micro-LED
units and the sensor units of the fingerprint sensors provided by
the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to these.
In other embodiments, as long as the arrangements of the micro-LED
unit and the sensor units of the sensors in a vertical direction do
not overlap, all solutions fall within protection scope of the
present disclosure.
[0056] As shown in FIG. 4, it is another schematic view of the

[0072] In summary, in the display device provided by embodiments of
the present disclosure, the micro-LED module and the fingerprint
sensors are provided in the camera placement area, and the
micro-LED units in the micro-LED module and the sensor units of the
fingerprint sensors do not overlap in a vertical direction, thereby
achieving full-screen display function, under-screen optical
fingerprint unlocking function, and camera function, so as to solve
technical problems that: in the display device of the prior art,
the camera area cannot display, and due to low transmittance of the
liquid crystal screen, it is difficult to design optical paths of
optical fingerprint and arrange sensors in the display area.
[0073] It can be understood that, for those of ordinary skill in
the art, equivalent replacements or changes can be made according
to the technical solutions of the present disclosure and their
inventive concepts, and all such changes or replacements shall fall
