Abstract

A display screen and an electronic equipment are provided. The display screen comprises a middle frame, a display panel and an optical fingerprint sensor. The display panel is superimposed on the upper surface of the middle frame, and the through-hole provided on the middle frame and extending through the upper and lower surfaces of the middle frame is filled with a transparent body, the optical fingerprint sensor is disposed beneath the transparent body.

Claims (25)

1. A display screen, comprising:

a middle frame comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the middle frame is provided with a through-hole extending through the upper and lower surfaces of the middle frame;

a display panel disposed above and in direct contact with the upper surface of the middle frame, wherein the display panel is light-transmissible;

an optical fingerprint sensor disposed at least partially below the through-hole,

wherein the through-hole is filled with a transparent body, wherein the material of the transparent body is glass or ceramic, to prevent a deformation in the display panel and to support and protect the optical fingerprint sensor,

wherein the display panel comprises an organic light emitting diode display and a flexible packaging layer, the flexible packaging layer is superimposed above the organic light emitting diode display, the flexible packaging layer is in physical contact with the organic light emitting diode display.

2. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the optical fingerprint sensor can emit light outward through the transparent body and the display panel, and can receive incident light passed through the transparent body and the display panel.

3. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the optical fingerprint sensor is disposed in the through-hole.

4. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the optical fingerprint sensor is disposed outside the through-hole and close to the lower surface of the middle frame.

5. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel is a flexible display panel.

6. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the through-hole overlaps at least partially with a symmetrical axis of the middle frame.

7. An electronic equipment, comprising:

a display screen that comprises a middle frame, a display panel disposed above and in direct contact with an upper surface of the middle frame, and an optical fingerprint sensor,

wherein the middle frame is provided with a through-hole extending through the upper and lower surfaces of the middle frame;

wherein the display panel is light-transmissible;

wherein the optical fingerprint sensor is disposed at least partially below the through-hole;

wherein the through-hole is filled at least partially with a transparent body, wherein the material of the transparent body is glass or ceramic, to prevent a deformation in the display panel and to support and protect the optical fingerprint sensor,

wherein the display panel comprises an organic light emitting diode display and a flexible packaging layer, the flexible packaging layer is superimposed above the organic light emitting diode display, the flexible packaging layer is in physical contact with the organic light emitting diode display.

8. The electronic equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the optical fingerprint sensor can emit light outward through the transparent body and the display panel, and can receive incident light passed through the transparent body and the display panel.

9. The electronic equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the optical fingerprint sensor is disposed in the through-hole.

10. The electronic equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the optical fingerprint sensor is disposed outside the through-hole and close to a lower surface of the middle frame.

11. The electronic equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the display panel is a flexible display panel.

12. The electronic equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the through-hole overlaps at least partially with the symmetrical axis of the middle frame.

13. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible packaging layer provides insulation to protect the organic light emitting diode display.

14. The electronic equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the flexible packaging layer provides insulation to protect the organic light emitting diode display.
