Minimize radio frequency co-existence in products with light emitting diode displays by diverting surface current

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and devices for diverting surface current on a display panel support plate are provided. An electronic transceiver device including a display panel may include a display back plate and a support plate, such that the support plate is disposed beneath the display back plate. The support plate may include an array of slots etched into the support plate, such that the array of slots may be used and positioned to divert an electromagnetic field on the support plate to redirect propagation of the surface current towards ground pins located on the display panel housing.
