Image capture and integrated display apparatus
An integrated imaging apparatus is disclosed for displaying images of a scene, including an electronic display having a display pixel that is used to display image content, the display pixel having a substrate, one-or-more electronic component(s) formed over a distinct portion of the substrate, a first electrode connected to the electronic component(s) having a first transparent portion formed over the substrate but not over the electronic component(s) and a second reflective portion formed over the electronic component(s), a light-emitting layer(s) formed over the first electrode, and a second transparent electrode formed over the light-emitting layers; and at least one image capture device which captures an image, wherein the image capture device has at least an imaging lens and an image sensor array; and wherein the image capture device receives light through the transparent portion of the first electrode, and wherein the display pixel also provides light to display image content.
1. An integrated imaging apparatus for displaying images while capturing images of a scene, comprising:
(a) an electronic display having a plurality of display pixels that are used to display image content, each of the display pixels having (i) a common substrate, (ii) one-or-more electronic component(s) formed over a distinct portion of the substrate to control light-emission, (iii) a first electrode connected to and electrically controlled by the electronic component, (iv) one or more organic or inorganic light-emitting layers formed over the first electrode, (v) a second transparent electrode formed over the light-emitting layers, and (vi) wherein the first electrode includes a first transparent portion formed over the substrate but not over the electronic component and a second reflective portion formed over the electronic component; and
(b) at least one image capture device which captures an image, wherein the image capture device has at least an imaging lens and an image sensor array; and wherein the image capture device receives light through the transparent portion of the first electrode, and wherein the display pixel also provides light to display image content.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the image capture device captures an image at the same time the display pixel is emitting light.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , further including means for compensating for the light emitted by the display pixel.
