Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a non-provisional patent application, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710132218.6, filed on Mar. 7, 2017 and Chinese Patent Application No. 201720219668.4, filed on Mar. 7, 2017. The entire disclosures of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to terminals, and more particularly to a display screen, a display screen assembly, and a terminal.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Terminals, such as smart phones, tablet personal computers (PCs), notebook PCs, and personal digital assistants (PDAs), include display screens configured to provide images or videos for users.

Such terminals can include various functions, as well as display functions, such as camera functions, user identifying functions, fingerprint recognizing functions, and the like. With development of intelligent communicating technologies, terminals having large display screens are popular.

At present, the terminals are generally equipped with the fingerprint recognizing functions. Therefore, terminals also have non-display areas, where installing holes are formed in the non-display areas to install fingerprint recognizing modules. This results in that in a fixed-sized terminal, a screen display area of the terminal is limited due to the need for the non-display area for defining the installing hole for accommodating the fingerprint recognizing module.

FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating a terminal 100 according to a schematic embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a front view illustrating a terminal 100 according to another schematic embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a smart phone is used as an embodiment of the terminal 100. However, the terminal including a display screen 20, such as a tablet personal computer (PC), a notebook PC, and a personal digital assistant (PDA) can be also used as other embodiments.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 illustrate that the terminal 100 according to one embodiment can include a display screen 20, an optical fingerprint module 60, and an outer casing 40. The display screen 20 can include a first display area 21 and a second display area 22.

The display screen 20 can be received in the outer casing 40. The outer casing 40 can be a single component or include a plurality of assembly components. The outer casing 40 can be made from at least one of plastic materials, ceramic materials, and metal materials.

The display screen 20 is configured to display electronic files. The display screen 20 can display information such as images, videos, and texts. The display screen 20 can include a front surface configured to display the information and a back surface opposite to the front surface.

The display screen 20 can include a first display area 21 and a second display area 22. The first display area 21 can display information such as images, videos, and texts. The second display area 21 can display information such as images, videos, and texts.

In one embodiment, the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 can cooperate to display an entire screen. For example, when an image is displayed, the first display area 21 can display a part of the image and the second display area 22 can display a remaining part of the image. When the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 cooperate to display an entire screen, the first display area 21 can be used to display a large part of image information and the second display area 22 can be used to display a remaining part of the image information.

In one embodiment, a display image is formed by the first display area 21 and the second display area 22, i.e., an entire screen can be formed by an image displayed by the first display area 21 and an image displayed by the second display area 22.

In one embodiment, when the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 cooperate to display an entire screen, image information to be displayed by each of the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 can be assigned according to a size of the first display area 21 and a size of the second display area 22.

In some embodiments, the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 can further display different images independently and respectively. For example, the first display area 21 displays a first image and the second display area 22 displays a second image. In another example, the first display area 21 displays an interface image and the second display area 22 displays a fingerprint identifying icon, etc.

In one embodiment, in order to improve quality of screen display, the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 are coplanar, i.e., an information display surface of the first display area 21 and an information display surface of the second display area 22 are in a same plane. For example, when a thickness of the first display area 21 is different from a thickness of the second display area 22, it is ensured that the information display surface of the first display area 21 and the information display surface of the second display area 22 are in the same plane at a time of assembly.

Of course in some embodiments, the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 can be also non-coplanar. For example, the first display area 21 is higher than the second display area 22, etc.

In some embodiments, an area of the second display area 22 is smaller than an area of the first display area 21. FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 illustrate that the area of the second display area 22 is much smaller than the area of the first display area 21. The area of the second display area 22 relates to a size of the optical fingerprint module 60. For example, the larger the optical fingerprint module 60 is, the larger the area of the second display area 22 is for being able to collect (or identify) a fingerprint.

In one embodiment, the first display area 21 surrounds at least a part of the second display area 22. For example, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 illustrate that a part of the first display area 21 surrounds the second display area 22, and a part of the second display area 22 is surrounded by the first display area 21.

In some embodiments, the first display area 21 can completely surround the second display area 22, and the second display area 22 is surrounded by the first display area 21. For example, FIG. 5 illustrates that the second display area 22 is completely surrounded by the first display area 21.

In order to improve quality of screen display and simplify a fabricating process of a display screen, in the present embodiment, the second display area 22 can be formed at an edge of the display screen 20. Specifically, the second display area 22 can be directly coupled to the edge of the display screen 20.

For example, FIG. 1 illustrates that the second display area 22 is formed at and coupled to a bottom edge of the first display area 21. In another example, FIG. 2 illustrates that the second display area 22 is formed at and coupled to a top edge of the first display area 21. In another example, FIG. 6 illustrates that the second display area 22 is formed at and coupled to a side portion of the first display area 21.

In some embodiments, in order to beautify the display screen, improve quality of screen display, and reduce a fabricating process of a display screen, the second display area 22 can be further disposed at an intersection between a side portion and a bottom portion of the display screen 20. For example, FIG. 7 illustrates that the second display area 22 can be formed at an intersection between the side portion and the bottom portion of the display screen 20, and the second display area 22 is coupled to the side portion and the bottom portion of the display screen 20.

In order to facilitate a user inputting a fingerprint, the second display area 22 can be positioned in a middle of a bottom of the first display area 21 according to the user's habit of using the terminal. In some embodiments, the second display area 22 can be positioned in a middle of a top of the first display area 21, such as illustrated in FIG. 1. Further, the second display area 22 can be disposed in a side of the first display area 21, such as illustrated in FIG. 6.

In some embodiments, FIG. 8 illustrates that the second display area 22 can be positioned in a middle of the first display area 21, and the second display area 22 is completely surrounded by the first display area 21.

In one embodiment, the second display area 22 may have various contour shapes. For example, the contour shapes can be selected from the group consisting of an arc shape, a rounded rectangle shape, and a rounded square shape. For example, FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 illustrate that the second display area 22 is semi-circular; FIG. 5 and FIG. 8 illustrate that the second display area 22 is circular. In another example, FIG. 9 illustrates that a contour shape of the second display area 22 includes a plurality of arcs.

In some embodiments, a contour shape of the second display area 22 can be a rectangular shape. For example, FIG. 10 illustrates that a rectangular second display area 22 is positioned in a bottom of the first display area 21.

In order to enable the optical fingerprint module 60 to collect (or identify) a fingerprint of a user, in one embodiment, the second display area 22 is a transparent display area so that the optical fingerprint module 60 can collect (or identify) the fingerprint of the user by the transparent second display area 22.

FIG. 4 illustrates that the optical fingerprint module 60 on a rear side of the second display area 22 of the display screen 20. A light signal can be emitted toward the second display area 22 by the optical fingerprint module 60. When a fingerprint is put on the second display area 22, the light signal will pass through the transparent second display area 22 and achieve the fingerprint of a finger, and a reflection will be induced accordingly. Therefore, a fingerprint image can be obtained by the optical fingerprint module 60 according to a reflective light signal so as to collect (or identify) a finger information of the user, since brightness of the emitted light signal is different from brightness of a light signal refracted or reflected by ridges on a surface of the finger. Therefore, the fingerprint image can be obtained by the optical fingerprint module 60, according to the reflective light signal. In one embodiment, “front side” means a direction to which a side of the display screen 20 faces, wherein the side of the display screen 20 displays information, and “rear side” means a direction opposite to “front side”.

In one embodiment, in a displaying mode a displaying information, such as an image information and so on, can be spliced by the second display area 22 together with the first display area 21. In a fingerprint identifying mode, the second display area 22 is used to achieve fingerprint identifying function. For example, the second display area 22 becomes transparent in the fingerprint identifying mode so that the fingerprint is collected (or identified) by the optical fingerprint module 60.

In some embodiments, in the fingerprint identifying mode the displaying information can be also spliced by the second display area 22 together with the first display area 21. For example, when a video screen for displaying is spliced by the first display area 21 and the second display area 22, a fingerprint can be inputted through the second display area 22 by a user so as to performing fingerprint identification, etc.

Since the display screen 20 has the transparent second display area 22, a fingerprint of a user can be collected (or identified) through the second display area 22 by the optical fingerprint module 60 so as to achieve fingerprint identifying function. There is no need to dispose an independent non-display area for the fingerprint module. A screen ratio of the display screen 20 can be increased so as to achieve a display effect of a large screen.

In one embodiment, the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 can be formed in a complete display screen. FIG. 11 illustrates that the display screen 20 is a complete display screen, and the display screen 20 includes a first display area 21 and a transparent second display area 22 which are integrally molded. The optical fingerprint module 60 is disposed on a rear side of the display screen 22.

In some embodiments, the first display area 21 and the second display area 22 can be formed in two display screens, i.e., the display screen 20 is spliced by the two display screens. The display screen 20 can include a primary display screen and a secondary display screen. The first display area 21 is achieved by the primary display screen, and the second display area 22 is achieved by the secondary display screen.

In one embodiment, the second display area 22 can be a transparent display screen with an independent display function, such as an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display screen. The first display area 21 can be a display screen with an independent display function, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. For example, FIG. 4 illustrates that the first display area 21 can be a non-transparent display screen, and the non-transparent display screen can include a display module 210 and a backlight module 211. The second display area 22 can be a transparent OLED display screen.

In some embodiments, the first display area 21 can include a LCD display module and a LCD backlight module.

In one embodiment, the optical fingerprint module 60 is disposed below the display screen 20, i.e., disposed on a rear side of the display screen 20. In one embodiment, “front side” means a direction to which a side of the display screen 20 faces, wherein the side of the display screen 20 displays information, and “rear side” means a direction opposite to “front side”.

In order to collect (or identify) a fingerprint rapidly and improve identifying speed of the fingerprint, in one embodiment, the optical fingerprint module 60 can be positioned below the second display area 22, i.e., on a rear side of the second display area 22. For example, FIG. 4 illustrates that, when the second display area 22 is a transparent OLED display screen, the optical fingerprint module 60 can be positioned on the rear side of the OLED display screen. In one embodiment, the optical fingerprint module 60 can face directly to the second display area 22. For example, an emitting and receiving surface of the optical fingerprint module 60 faces directly to the second display area 22.

In some embodiments, the optical fingerprint module 60 can further be positioned on a rear side of the first display area 21. A light-guiding structure can be disposed below (i.e. on the rear side of) the second display area 22 so as to collect (or identify) a fingerprint of the second display area 22. A light signal can be emitted toward the light-guiding structure by the optical fingerprint module 60, and the light signal is emitted onto the second display area 22 through the light-guiding structure. When the fingerprint of a user is put on the second display area 22, the light signal is reflected by the fingerprint, and the reflected light signal is emitted onto the optical fingerprint module through the light-guiding structure, so as to achieve collecting (or identifying) the fingerprint. The light-guiding structure can be a reflective structure such as a prism, etc.

In some embodiments, the first display area 21 includes an area for placement of a component, wherein the second display area 22 is positioned in the area.

In one embodiment, the component can be a module performing other functions without performing display function. For example, the component can be a sensor module used to emitting a signal or receiving a signal from an external. For example, the component can be a fingerprint module, etc.

In one embodiment, the area can be a hole. FIG. 3 illustrates that a hole 212 can be formed in the first display area 21, and the second display area 22 is positioned in the hole 212. The second display area 22 can be coupled to the hole 212. When the second display area 22 is a transparent display screen, a sidewall of the display screen is coupled to a sidewall of the hole 212. When applied in practice, the transparent display screen and the primary display screen are coplanar. The hole 212 can be formed by a cutting process, such as a computer numerical control (CNC) cutting process, etc.

In one embodiment, the hole 212 may have various shapes. For example, the shapes can be selected from the group consisting of an arc shape, a rounded rectangle shape, and a rounded square shape. FIG. 3 illustrates that the shape of the hole 212 can be semi-circular.

In one embodiment, a contour shape of the second display area 22 fits to a shape of the hole 212. The second display area 22 is positioned in and connected to the hole 212, so as to ensure a complete property of the display screen 20.

In practical applications, when the first display area 21 is a primary display screen and the second display area 22 is a transparent display screen, the transparent display screen can be installed in the hole 212, and the transparent display screen and the primary display screen are coplanar. A complete display screen 20 can be spliced by the primary display screen and the transparent display screen. A user can feel that the display screen 20 is an integrally formed display screen by viewing from a front side of the display screen 20, wherein the transparent display screen is connected to a side wall of the hole 212 in the primary display screen. For example, a gap between the transparent display screen and the primary display screen is dispensed by a dispensing process, so as to closely connect the transparent display screen to the primary display screen.

In some embodiments, FIG. 4 illustrates that, when the first display area 21 is a non-transparent display screen and the non-transparent display screen includes a display module 210 and a backlight module 211, the hole 212 extends through the display module 210 and the backlight module 211.

In order to save a design space of the terminal, optionally, the backlight module 211 can be disposed partially around the optical fingerprint module 60. FIG. 4 illustrates that the backlight module 211 is disposed partially around the optical fingerprint module 60, and the optical fingerprint module 60 is coupled to a bottom edge of the backlight module 211.

FIG. 12 is an exploded schematic diagram illustrating a terminal 100. FIG. 12 illustrates that the terminal 100 can include a cover plate 10, a display screen 20, a printed circuit board 30, and an outer casing 40. The terminal 100 can further include a battery 50. The display screen 20 can be electrically coupled to the printed circuit board 30 through a flexible printed circuit board.

The cover plate 10 can be disposed in front of the display screen 20. A front surface of the display screen 20 can be protected by the cover plate 10, and a displayed information on the display screen 20 exposes to the outside.

In some embodiments, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 illustrate that the cover plate 10 may further have an exposing area 11 used to expose information displayed by the display screen 20 and an non-exposing area 12 used to block external visibility. The non-exposing area 12 can include a light shielding layer such as a black pad layer, so as to enable an inner part of the terminal 100 invisibly. In some embodiments, the light shielding layer is an ink layer.

FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 illustrate that the display screen 20 can include a non-display area 23 without displaying information. The non-display area 23 can be disposed on an outer side of the first display area 21. The non-display area 23 can be used to dispose an integrated circuit (IC). The IC is used to control information display of the display screen 20. Or, the non-display area 23 can be used to dispose functional devices such as a proximity sensor, a front camera, etc.

The non-exposing area 12 of the cover plate 10 can be disposed in front of the non-display area 23 of the display screen 20, so as to avoid the non-display area 23 of the display screen 20 being viewed from outside.

In some embodiments, FIG. 1 illustrates that the display screen 20 may not include a non-display area, i.e., the display screen 20 only includes a first display area 21 and a second display area 22. At this time, the IC for controlling display information of the display screen 20 may be disposed in a thickness direction of the display screen 20 or the like.

FIG. 12 illustrates that in one embodiment, a display panel assembly 101 may include the display screen 20 and the optical fingerprint module 60.

As described above, in the display screen, the display screen assembly, and the terminal provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, the optical fingerprint module is configured to collect (or identify) a fingerprint by forming at least one transparent second display area on the display screen, such that it is no need to dispose the non-display areas for the fingerprint recognizing module, where the non-display areas do not display images. An area of display area can be improved effectively so as to achieve a display effect of a large screen.
