Abstract

A display device is provided, including: a display panel including a display face and a first face opposite to the display face; an optical module configured to converge light transmitted through the display panel, the optical module being located on a side of the first face facing away from the display face; and a camera configured to receive light converged by the optical module, the camera located on a side of the optical module facing away from the first face and spaced apart from the optical module, the camera including a light incident face onto which light is incident. A projection of the optical module in a direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel falls into display area of the display panel, and an area of the projection of the optical module is larger than an area of the light incident face of the camera.

Claims (18)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel comprising a display face and a first face opposite to the display face;

an optical module configured to converge light transmitted through the display panel, the optical module being located on a side of the first face facing away from the display face; and

a camera configured to receive light converged by the optical module, the camera being located on a side of the optical module facing away from the first face and spaced apart from the optical module, the camera comprising a light incident face onto which the light is incident;

wherein a projection of the optical module in a direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel falls into a display area of the display panel, and an area of the projection of the optical module in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel is larger than an area of the light incident face of the camera,

wherein the optical module comprises a light converging element, the light converging element is a Fresnel lens, a focal length of the Fresnel lens is equal to R, a distance between the light incident face of the camera and an optical center of the Fresnel lens in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel is equal to R±10% R.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the light incident face of the camera is parallel to the Fresnel lens.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein a face of the Fresnel lens facing the display panel is a flat face, and the light incident face of the camera is parallel to the flat face.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a distance between the light incident face of the camera and an optical center of the Fresnel lens in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel is set in such a way that light emitted from a light exit face of the Fresnel lens is substantially totally incident onto the light incident face of the camera.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a projection of the camera in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel falls into the display area of the display panel.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a projection of the camera in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel falls into the projection of the optical module in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the optical module further comprises a light deflecting component between the display panel and the light converging element.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the light deflecting component comprises a prism or a group of mirrors.

9. The display device of claim 7 , wherein an area of a projection of the light deflecting component in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel is larger than the area of the light incident face of the camera.

10. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the light incident face of the camera is not parallel to the first face of the display panel.

11. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the light converging element is a Fresnel lens, a focal length of the Fresnel lens is equal to R, and a distance between the light incident face of the camera and an optical center of the Fresnel lens in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel is less than R.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the distance between the light incident face of the camera and the optical center of the Fresnel lens in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel is less than 0.9R.

13. The display device of claim 7 , wherein a projection of the camera in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel does not overlap with the projection of the optical module in the direction perpendicular to the first face of the display panel.
