Displays Having Transparent Openings - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18006519 Titled 'Displays Having Transparent Openings'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes an electronic device that has a display and an optical sensor underneath the display. The device has transparent windows that overlap the sensor, which can reduce the resolution of the display in some areas. To address this issue, the device uses two sensors with different patterns of transparent windows to sense light. These different patterns result in different diffraction artifacts. By comparing the images captured by the two sensors, the device can correct for these artifacts and improve the overall image quality.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include a display and an optical sensor formed underneath the display. The electronic device may include a plurality of transparent windows that overlap the optical sensor. The resolution of the display panel may be reduced in some areas due to the presence of the transparent windows. To mitigate diffraction artifacts, a first sensor (-) may sense light through a first pixel removal region having transparent windows arranged according to a first pattern. A second sensor (-) may sense light through a second pixel removal region having transparent windows arranged according to a second pattern that is different than the first pattern. The first and second patterns of the transparent windows may result in the first and second sensors having different diffraction artifacts. Therefore, an image from the first sensor may be corrected for diffraction artifacts based on an image from the second sensor.
