DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are used to exemplify the embodiments of the present invention, which can fully describe the technical contents of the present invention to make the technical content of the present invention clearer and easy to understand. However, the present invention may be embodied in many different forms of embodiments, and the scope of the present invention is not particularly limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

This embodiment provides a display device including a display screen and a first camera and a second cameras which are arranged side by side.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present embodiment provides a display screen 100 including a first camera area 1, a second camera area 2, and a display area 3, wherein, the display area 3 surrounds the first camera area 1 and the second camera area 2, a position of the first camera corresponding to the display screen 100 is the first camera area 1, and a position of the second camera corresponding to the display screen 100 is the second camera area 2. In this embodiment, the first camera area 1 and the second camera area 2 are arranged side by side, and the distance between the first camera area 1 and the second camera area 2 is 5 mm to 10 mm to ensure that the first camera area 1 and the second camera area 2 obtain exactly the same shooting field of view, which improves the clarity of the picture. The distance between the first camera area 1 and the second camera area 2 refers to a distance from a center of the first camera area 1 to a center of the second camera area 2. The distance between the first camera area 1 and the second camera area 2 is preferably 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 6.5 mm, or 7 mm, so that the first camera area 1 and the second camera area 2 can obtain the same field of view.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first camera area 1 includes a first pixel unit 11 and a first light-transmitting area 12. Specifically, the first camera area 1 is divided into a first pixel unit 11 and a first light-transmitting area 12. The first pixel unit 11 includes a red sub-pixel (R), a green sub-pixel (G), and a blue sub-pixel (B), to realize the function of color display. The first light-transmitting area 12 allows external light to pass there through to increase the transmittance of the camera. A shape of the first pixel unit 11 includes at least one of a circle, a triangle, a square, or a diamond.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first camera area 2 includes a second pixel unit 21 and a second light-transmitting area 22. Specifically, the second camera area 2 is divided into a second pixel unit 21 and a second light-transmitting area 22. The second pixel unit 21 includes a red sub-pixel (R), a green sub-pixel (G), and a blue sub-pixel (B), to realize the function of color display. The second light-transmitting area 22 allows external light to pass there through to increase the transmittance of the camera. A shape of the second pixel unit 12 includes at least one of a circle, a triangle, a square, or a diamond. The shape of the second pixel unit 12 and the shape of the first pixel unit 11 may be the same or different, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, a position of the first pixel unit 11 in the first camera area 1 corresponds to the second light-transmitting area 22 in the second camera area 2; a position of the second pixel unit 21 in the second camera area 2 corresponds to the first light-transmitting area 12 in the first camera area 11. In short, the pixel units of the first camera area 1 and the pixel units of the second camera area 2 are staggered with each other. The first pixel unit 11 is disposed in the first camera area 1, while no pixel unit is disposed in the second camera area 2. Similar, the second pixel unit 21 is arranged in the second camera area 2, while no pixel unit is arranged in the first camera area 1.

The pixel units of the first camera area 11 and the second camera area 21 compensate each other. When the camera is shooting through a corresponding one of the camera areas, the light transmittance of the camera area is increased to improve the shooting effect of the front camera, thereby ensuring the imaging quality, such that the pictures is taken with higher resolution. In addition, when the two camera areas are not shooting an image, the two camera areas can realize the function of normal display and realize full screen display. Therefore, the first camera area 1 and the second camera area 2 can implement both a shooting function and a display function, thereby improving user experience.

Specifically, when taking a picture, the first step is to activate the display device to shoot an image, and at this time, the first camera area is converted from a grayscale display state to a transparent state for external light to enter the first camera through the first light-transmitting area. The second camera area is set in the same way as the first camera area. In the second step, the first camera and the second camera are activated synchronously, to get the same screen at the same time, and the first camera and the second camera acquire the first image and the second image, respectively. In the first image, the picture corresponding to the position of the first pixel unit forms a first shielding area, and in the second image, the picture corresponding to the position of the second pixel unit forms a second shielding area. Since the pixel units of the first camera area and the pixel units of the second camera area are staggered with each other, for the same reason, the first shielding area and the second shielding area are staggered with each other. In the third step, a processor of the display device performs deletion processing on the first shielding area of the first image, and performs deletion processing on the second shielding area of the second image, followed by fusing a clear part of the first image and a clear part of the second image to obtain a picture with clear brightness and clear background.

When shooting, the first step of shooting is exactly the same as the first step of taking a picture. In the second step, shooting frequencies of the first camera and the second camera are exactly the same, that is, the same image is acquired at the same time point, and in other words, when shooting, by performing the second step of taking a picture to acquire multiple frames of images continuously. In the third step, the images acquired by the first camera and the second camera at the same time point are fused, that is, the third step of taking a picture is executed, then the multiple frames of images are fused, and after that, images with clear brightness and clear background are obtained. In this embodiment, the display area 3 includes a fourth pixel unit 31. The pixels of the first pixel unit 11 is smaller than that of the fourth pixel unit 31, so as to increase the transmission of the first camera area 1 for external light and improve the transmission. The shooting effect of the first camera area 1. The pixels of the second pixel unit 21 are arranged in a density less than those of the fourth pixel unit 31, so as to increase the transmission of the second camera area 2 for external light and improve the shooting effect through the second camera area 2. The fourth pixel unit 31 includes a red sub-pixel (R), a green sub-pixel (G), and a blue sub-pixel (B) to realize the function of color display.

It should be noted that since the pixels of the first pixel unit 11 are arranged in a density less than those of the fourth pixel unit 31, the pixels of the second pixel unit 21 are arranged in a density less than those of the fourth pixel unit 31. Therefore, the resolution of the first camera area 1 is smaller than the resolution of the display area 3, and the resolution of the second camera area 2 is smaller than the resolution of the display area 3. When the display screen 100 displays images, the sudden change from the first camera area 1 to the display area 3 and the sudden change from the second camera area 2 to the display area 3 may make the user observe unclear images displaying in some areas, which reduces the user experience.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the direction from the center of the first camera area 1 to the display area 3, the distance between adjacent ones of the pixels in the first camera area 1 is reduced, so that the sudden change from the display area 3 to the first camera area 1 decreases, and the resolution of the first camera area 1 gradually decreases. Similarly, the distance between adjacent ones of the pixels in the second camera area is also reduced, so that the sudden change from the display area to the second camera area decreases, and the resolution of the second camera area gradually decreases. Therefore, it is possible to achieve imaging with a better resolution while ensuring the shooting effect, which improves the user experience.

In this embodiment, the first camera area 1, the second camera area 2, and the third camera area 4 are located in the same plane and on the same straight line. The distance between adjacent ones of the camera areas is 5 mm to 10 mm to ensure that the adjacent ones of the camera areas obtain exactly the same shooting field of view, which improves the clarity of the picture. The distance between adjacent ones of the camera areas refers to a distance from a center of one of the camera areas to a center of another one of the camera areas. The distance between adjacent ones of the camera areas is preferably 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 6.5 mm, or 7 mm, so that all the second camera areas can obtain the same field of view.

As shown in FIG. 6, the third camera area 4 is divided into a third pixel unit 41 and a third light-transmitting area 42. Specifically, a position of the third pixel unit 41 in the third camera area 4 corresponds to a part of the first light-transmitting area 12 in the first camera area 1; and a position of the first pixel unit 11 in the first camera area 1 corresponds to a part of the third light-transmitting area 42 in the third camera area 4; and/or, the position of the third pixel unit 41 in the third camera area 4 corresponds to a part of the second light-transmitting area 22 in the second camera area 2; and a position of the second pixel unit 21 in the second camera area 2 corresponds to a part of the third light-transmitting area 42 in the third camera area 4.

The pixels of the second pixel unit 21 are arranged in a density less than those of the fourth pixel unit 31, so as to increase the transmission of the second camera area 2 for external light and improve the shooting effect through the second camera area 2. The pixels of the third pixel unit 41 are arranged in a density less than those of the fourth pixel unit 31, so as to increase the transmission of the third camera area 4 for external light and improve the shooting effect through the third camera area 4.

It should be noted that since the pixels of the first pixel unit 11 are arranged in a density less than those of the fourth pixel unit 31, the pixels of the second pixel unit 21 are arranged in a density less than those of the fourth pixel unit 31, and pixels of the third pixel unit 41 are arranged in a density less than those of the fourth pixel unit 31, the resolution of the first camera area 1 is less than the resolution of the display area 3, the resolution of the second camera area 2 is less than the resolution of the display area 3, and the resolution of the third camera area 4 is less than the resolution of the display area 3. When the display screen 100 displays images, the sudden change from the first camera area 1 to the display area 3, the sudden change from the second camera area 2 to the display area 3, and the sudden change from the third camera area 4 to the display area 3 may make the user observe unclear images displaying in some areas, which reduces the user experience.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the direction from the center of the first camera area 1 to the display area 3, the distance between adjacent ones of the pixels in the first camera area 1 is reduced, so that the sudden change from the display area 3 to the first camera area 1 decreases, and the resolution of the first camera area 1 gradually decreases. Similarly, the distance between adjacent ones of the pixels in the second camera area and the third camera area is also reduced, so that the sudden change from the display area to the second camera area and the third camera area decreases, and the resolution of the second camera area and the third camera area gradually decreases. Therefore, it is possible to achieve imaging with a better resolution while ensuring the shooting effect, which improves the user experience.
