Abstract: Systems and techniques directed at an electronic device with a centrally located under-display image sensor are disclosed. The electronic device includes a first image sensor and a second image sensor, the second image sensor being an under-display sensor located at substantially a center of a display of the electronic device. The first image sensor may be located adjacent to an edge of the display. The second image sensor is configured to capture an eye gaze of a user and provide the captured eye gaze to correct the eye gaze of images captured by the first image sensor. The first image sensor may also be an under-display image sensor. During video communications with the electronic device, a user usually looks at the center of the display of the electronic device. The second image sensor is configured to capture the correct eye gaze of the user during video communications.

Abstract: A display configuration to facilitate imaging through the display is disclosed. The imaging can be achieved by positioning a camera behind a transmit/receive area (120,122) of a display. The transmit/receive area is configured to reduce the interaction between the light propagating through the display and circuit elements of the display. The configuration of the transmit/receive area can be characterized by reduced pixel density, rearranged circuit elements (1242), and as light blocking layer (1222, 1260) to prevent light from diffracting from gaps formed by circuit elements (1242).

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed to touch sensor integration with enlarged active area displays. In aspects, a display includes a cover layer, an array of pixels, and a plurality of transistors that control an electrical activation of one or more pixels of the array of pixels. The plurality of transistors define a smaller area than the array of pixels such that at least one pixel of the array of pixels extends beyond the area defined by the plurality of transistors and above driving circuitry (“extended emitting area”). Variable pixel and/or transistor densities can support the extended emitting area. A touch sensor is integrated between the cover layer and the array of pixels and is operatively coupled to one or more touch trace routings that are, at least partially, disposed between the cover layer and one or more pixels within the extended emitting area.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at mitigating display diffraction flares for under-display sensing. In aspects, an equation may be derived that models the effects of a display in producing a diffraction phenomenon at an image plane of a sensing region for an under-display light-sensing device. The equation may be used to determine an arrangement (e.g., an optimized arrangement) of components (e.g., sub-pixels) within the display that minimizes a diffraction efficiency for at least one diffraction order and, thereby, mitigates an intensity and/or a prevalence of optical artifacts in light-sensing data. In implementations, an image intensity point-spread-function is utilized to calculate diffraction efficiencies for respective diffraction orders (e.g., the lowest diffraction orders, the diffraction orders with the greatest brightness).

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at incorporating a non-uniform aperture region in a transmittance-limiting layer, such as a color-on-encapsulation (COE) layer, to increase a transmittance of electromagnetic energy receivable by and/or radiated from an under-display sensor positioned under a display panel. The non-uniform aperture layer maintains or increases the transmittance of the electromagnetic energy while being less visually conspicuous than a uniform aperture region. In aspects, a display panel stack includes a cover layer, a pixel array, and a transmittance-limiting layer disposed between the cover layer and the pixel array configured to at least partially absorb electromagnetic energy incident at a surface of the transmittance-limiting layer. The transmittance-limiting layer includes a non-uniform aperture region having a plurality of apertures configured to at least partially permit the transmission of the electromagnetic energy that is detectable by an under-display sensor.

In aspects, a display includes a cover layer positioned as a topmost layer and an array of pixels positioned thereunder. A plurality of transistors, positioned under the array of pixels, may control an electrical activation of one or more pixels within the array of pixels. In implementations, the plurality of transistors define a smaller area than the array of pixels such that at least one pixel of the array of pixels extends beyond the area defined by the plurality of transistors and above driving circuitry. Variable pixel and/or transistor densities can support the enlarged active area of displays and improve user experience.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at enlarging active areas of displays in electronic devices. In aspects, a display includes a grid of transistors positioned within a display panel module to control an illumination of one or more electroluminescent layers. Routing lines extend from one or more transistors of the grid of transistors to at least one electroluminescent layer. In this way, the at least one electroluminescent layer can be positioned away from the grid of transistors and disposed above portions of display panel module driving circuitry. As a result, active areas of displays can be enlarged and information content can be maximized without a panel border area allotted to the display panel module driving circuitry surrounding transistors having to be reduced.
