Title
(DE) INTEGRIERTES KAMERAFENSTER
(EN) INTEGRATED CAMERA WINDOW
(FR) HUBLOT DE PRISE DE VUE INTÉGRÉ
Abstract
(EN) Apparatus, systems and methods for camera integration with cover glass and for processing cover glass to provide a camera window for an electronic device are disclosed. A camera window can be integrated into the cover glass. The apparatus, systems and methods are especially suitable for cover glasses, or displays (e.g., LCD displays), assembled in small form factor electronic devices such as handheld electronic devices (e.g., mobile phones, media players, personal digital assistants, remote controls, etc.). The apparatus, systems and methods can also be used for cover glasses or displays for other relatively larger form factor electronic devices (e.g., portable computers, tablet computers, displays, monitors, televisions, etc.).
(FR) L'invention porte sur des appareils, des systèmes et des procédés d'intégration d'une caméra avec un verre de recouvrement et de traitement du verre de recouvrement pour produire un hublot de prise de vue pour un dispositif électronique. Un hublot de prise de vue peut être intégré dans le verre de recouvrement. Les appareils, les systèmes et les procédés sont en particulier appropriés pour des verres de recouvrement, ou des dispositifs d'affichage (par exemple, des écrans LCD), assemblés dans des dispositifs électroniques à petit facteur de forme tels que des dispositifs électroniques portatifs (par exemple, des téléphones mobiles, des lecteurs multimédias, des assistants numériques personnels, des télécommandes, etc.). Les appareils, les systèmes et les procédés peuvent également être utilisés pour des verres de recouvrement ou des dispositifs d'affichage destinés à d'autres dispositifs électroniques à relativement plus grand facteur de forme (par exemple, des ordinateurs portables, des ordinateurs tablettes, des dispositifs d'affichage, des moniteurs, des téléviseurs, etc.).
