Abstract

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display (LCD) device for an under-screen identification scheme. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme comprises a liquid crystal module, a backlight module, an under-screen sensor, and a micro light emitting diode (LED) module. The liquid crystal module defines a liquid crystal module operable region and a digging region adjacent to the liquid crystal module operable region. Therefore, there is no display interruption and discontinuous boundaries in the vision, and can achieve a complete full-screen design.

Claims (15)

1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device for an under-screen identification scheme, comprising:

a liquid crystal module comprising an array glass, a liquid crystal layer, a color filter, and a polarizer, wherein the liquid crystal layer, the color filter, and the polarizer are sequentially disposed on the array glass, and the liquid crystal module defines a liquid crystal module operable region and a digging region adjacent to the liquid crystal module operable region;

a backlight module disposed under the liquid crystal module and emitting light toward the liquid crystal module;

an under-screen sensor disposed in the backlight module with respect to the digging region of the liquid crystal module; and

a micro light emitting diode (LED) module disposed in the digging region defined by the liquid crystal module;

wherein the micro LED module defines a micro LED operable region, and the micro LED operable region is adjacent to the liquid crystal module operable region.

2. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the micro LED module comprises a transparent substrate, a plurality of sub-pixels, and a plurality of chips, and the plurality of sub-pixels and the plurality of chips are disposed on the transparent substrate.

3. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the chip of the micro LED module has a size ranging from 1 to 500 micrometers (μm), and the sub-pixel of the micro LED module has a size ranging from 10 to 1000 μm.

4. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a coverage area of each of the chips is smaller than an area of each of the sub-pixels.

5. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the under-screen sensor comprises one of a fingerprint recognition, a camera, a structured light sensor, a time-of-flight ranging sensor, a distance sensor, and a light sensor.

6. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the micro LED module utilizes red, green, and blue (RGB) three-color for display.

7. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the micro LED operable region is disposed at a position comprising one of a hole, a water droplet, a notch, and an outward-facing of the liquid crystal module.

8. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the area of the micro LED operable region is less than 10*10 mm.

9. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the substrate of the micro LED module is driven by a passive matrix method or an active matrix method.

10. The LCD device for the under-screen identification scheme as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a vertical stack of the micro LED module comprises one of a built-in structure, a surface embedded structure, and a plug-in structure.
