    Abstract: This application sets forth systems, methods, and apparatus for improving charge settling times for lines and pixels of a display panel. The charge settling times are improved by providing an over drive signal and a bias current to a line and/or pixel of the display panel based a comparison of content data to be output by the display panel. In this way, by initially charging the line and/or pixel with the over drive signal, the line and/or pixel can be fully charged more quickly in display panels that operate at higher refresh rates.

    Abstract: Gate driver circuitry in a display may supply gate line signals to rows of pixels on gate lines. Data line driver circuitry may supply data line signals to columns of pixels on data lines. The gate driver circuitry may have registers that are coupled to form a shift register that supplies the gate line signals to the gate lines. To compensate for data line signal propagation delays, the registers of the shift register may be clocked with increasingly delayed clocks as a function of increasing distance away from the display driver circuitry. To compensate for gate line signal propagation delays, the data line driver circuitry may impose increasing delays on the data line signals carried on the data lines as a function of increasing distance of the data lines away from the gate driver circuitry.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes procedures for dynamically employing a variable refresh rate at an LCD display of a consumer electronic device, such as a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, or a music player device. In some configurations, the consumer electronic device can include a host system portion, having one or more processors and a display system portion, having a timing controller, a buffer circuit, a display driver, and a display panel. The display system can receive image data and image control data from a GPU of the host system, evaluate the received image control data to determine a reduced refresh rate (RRR) for employing at the display panel, and then transition to the RRR, whenever practicable, to conserve power. In some scenarios, the transition to the RRR can be a transition from a LRR of 50 hertz or above to a RRR of 40 hertz or below.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for compensating for VCOM variations include determining a voltage change in pixels between frames to be displayed on an electronic display. Based on the determined voltage change, VCOM variation is calculated based on coupling the VCOM to one or more data lines of the electronic display. VCOM compensation is determined and applied to offset for the VCOM variation. Using the VCOM offset, subsequent pixel content for the one or more pixels is written using the compensated VCOM.
