Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to mitigating unintended OLED display emissions arising from a proximity sensor emitter located behind an OLED display panel. One example provides a display device comprising an OLED display panel, a proximity sensor having a proximity sensor emitter positioned behind one or more OLED pixels of the OLED display panel with respect to a viewing surface of the OLED display panel, and a proximity emitter mask positioned between the proximity sensor emitter and the one or more OLED pixels to shield the one or more OLED pixels from the proximity sensor emitter.
Claims20
A display device, comprising:
- an OLED display panel;
- a proximity sensor having a proximity sensor emitter positioned behind one or more OLED pixels of the OLED display panel with respect to a viewing surface of the OLED display panel;
- and
- a proximity emitter mask positioned between the proximity sensor emitter and the one or more OLED pixels to shield the one or more OLED pixels from the proximity sensor emitter, the proximity emitter mask being integrated with printed circuitry of the OLED display panel.
A display device, comprising:
- an OLED display panel;
- a proximity sensor having a proximity sensor emitter positioned behind one or more OLED pixels of the OLED display panel with respect to a viewing surface of the OLED display panel;
- and
- a proximity emitter mask comprising a printed metal structure positioned between the proximity sensor emitter and the one or more OLED pixels to shield the one or more OLED pixels from the proximity sensor emitter, the proximity emitter mask being integrated with printed circuitry of the OLED display panel.
A method enacted on a display device comprising an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel and a proximity sensor having a proximity sensor emitter positioned behind one or more OLED pixels of the OLED display panel with respect to a viewing surface of the OLED display panel, the method comprising:
- shielding the one or more OLED pixels from the proximity sensor emitter using a proximity emitter mask integrated with printed circuitry of the OLED display panel and positioned between the proximity sensor emitter and the one or more OLED pixels.
