Abstract

The disclosure relates to display devices and display screen modules. The display device includes a body, a display screen and a second display area. The display screen is disposed on the body, and the display screen includes a first display area and a light transmitting area. The first display area has a light exiting surface facing away from the body. The second display area is located between the display screen and a bottom surface of the body and configured to compensate for the light transmitting area, so that the light transmitting area displays image information, realizing full-screen display.

Claims (36)

1. A display device, comprising:

a body;

a display screen disposed on the body and comprising a first display area and a light transmitting area;

a second display area located between the display screen and a bottom surface of the body and aligned with the light transmitting area, projections of the second display area and the light transmitting area on the display screen overlapping with each other; and

an optical path structure and a light-receiving module disposed between the display screen and the second display area;

wherein:

the second display area does not emit light under a first state;

the optical path structure reflects the light incident from the light transmitting area toward the light-receiving module;

light emitted from the second display area passes through the optical path structure to reach the light transmitting area under a second state; and

the image information on the second display area is displayed on the light transmitting area.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical path structure comprises a semi-reflective semi-transparent structure, and the semi-reflective semi-transparent structure reflects light transferred from the light transmissive area and allows light transferred from the second display area to pass therethrough.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the semi-reflective semi-transparent structure comprises a transparent substrate and a semi-reflective semi-transparent film overlaying the surface of the transparent substrate.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the semi-reflective semi-transparent structure is obtained by coating the transparent substrate with the semi-reflective semi-transparent film.

5. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein an angle between the semi-reflective semi-transparent structure and transmitted light from the light transmitting area is 45 degrees.

6. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein projection of a light reflecting surface of the semi-reflective semi-transparent structure which reflects light from the light transmitting area on the display screen covers the light transmitting area.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-receiving module is a camera, and a lens axis of the light-receiving module and the second display area are parallel to the display screen.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical path structure is integrated with the display screen and the second display area to form an integrated structure.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the optical path structure comprises a semi-reflective semi-transparent structure having one end fixed to the display screen and the other end fixed to the second display area.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical path structure is coupled to the second display area while one or both of the optical path structure and the second display area are coupled to the body.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the body defines a receiving cavity, and

the optical path structure, the light-receiving module, and the second display area are positioned in the receiving cavity.

12. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display screen and the second display area comprise OLED display screens.

13. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light transmitting area comprises a through hole, a light collecting lens being configured within the through hole.

14. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second display area is switchable between the first state and the second state according to the activation or deactivation of the light-receiving module.

15. The display device according to claim 14 , wherein the second display area does not emit light and the optical path structure reflects the light incident from the light transmitting area toward the light extraction module when the light-receiving module is activated; and the second display emits light and the emitted light passes through the optical path structure and reaches the light transmitting area when the light-receiving module is deactivated.

16. A display screen module, comprising:

a body;

a display screen comprising a first display area and a light transmitting area;

a second display area located between the display screen and a bottom surface of the body and aligned with the light transmitting area, projections of the second display area and the light transmitting area on the display screen overlapping with each other; and

an optical path structure and a light-receiving module disposed between the display screen and the second display area;

wherein the optical path structure is configured to reflect the light incident from the light transmitting area toward the light-receiving module when the second display area does not emit light.

17. The display screen module according to claim 16 , wherein:

the second display area is characterized by a first state and a second state, the first state is activated by a first control signal to cause the second display area not to emit light;

the second state is activated by a second control signal to allow the second display to emit light; and

the optical path structure is further configured to allow light emitted from the second display area pass through the optical path structure to reach the light transmitting area under the second state.
