Abstract: Test structures and methods of testing pixel driver chip donor wafers are described. In an embodiment, a redistribution layer is formed over a pixel driver chip donor wafer and probed to determine known good dies, followed by removal of the RDL. In other embodiments, test routing is formed in the pixel driver chip using a polycide material or doped region in the semiconductor wafer.

Abstract: A device may include image processing circuitry that generates image data corresponding to an image to be displayed during a first image frame and a second image frame. However, the image data is not regenerated for the second image frame. The device may also include an electronic display having a frame buffer that receives and stores the image data from the image processing circuitry. The electronic display may also include a display panel that displays the image during the first image frame based on a first read of the image data from the frame buffer in response to a first emission sync signal and displays the image during the second image frame based on a second read of the image data from the frame buffer in response to a second emission sync signal.

Abstract: Electronic devices, displays, and methods are provided for performing row shuffling to reduce an appearance of image artifacts during eye movements such as saccades. An electronic display may include a number of rows of display pixels and driving circuitry to drive the rows of pixels. The driving circuitry may spatially shuffle or temporally shuffle, or both spatially and temporally shuffle, a row order of driving the rows of display pixels.

Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display including display pixels to display an image based on compensated image data. As image data is written to a pixel in the row of pixels, capacitive coupling at a driver may lead to distortion on the driver. In particular, the capacitive coupling may cause distortion at a storage capacitor, which may lead to current droop at the pixel. The current droop may be reduced or eliminated in each pixel by performing pixel compensation. The pattern of the pixel compensation may be selected such that, over a number of subframes, an average amount of light is the same or similar to what would be emitted had pixel compensation been performed on each pixel in each subframe.

Abstract: A control circuit adjusts a value of a source supply voltage VSSEL provided to a display area in an electronic display. The control circuit also adjusts a voltage Vreset applied to the display area to cause the display area to emit light more uniformly under various ambient conditions (e.g., temperature) surrounding the display area. Dynamically changing Vreset is employed to make anode charging dynamics independent of temperature. The control circuit adjusts the source supply voltage VSSEL and the voltage Vreset together to compensate display pixel hysteresis effects and display artifacts caused by temperature changes and brightness changes of the display area and collectively produce images. Dynamically tuning the Vreset and the VSSEL voltages also saves power and improves gray level accuracy for the electronic display.

Abstract: An electronic device may display image content via a tile-based display by controlling light emission from display pixels of the tile-based display. Based on image data associated with the image content, a processing circuitry of the tile-based display may receive a potential tile boundary. The processing circuitry may resample the image data based on geometry of the tile boundary and positions of the display pixels on the tile-based panel. After resampling the image data, the processing circuitry may adjust gain of the tile boundary display pixels according to a gain mask to compensate for the tile boundary.

Abstract: A display may be formed by an array of light-emitting diodes mounted to the surface of a display substrate. The light-emitting diodes may be inorganic light-emitting diodes formed from separate crystalline semiconductor structures. An array of pixel control circuits may be used to control light emission from the light-emitting diodes. Each pixel control circuit may be configured to control one or more respective passive matrices. To control partial pixel cells in the display, a donor pixel control circuit in a partial pixel cell may control the pixels in a receptor partial pixel cell without a pixel control circuit. To mitigate the size of an inactive area of the display, fanout signal lines for the display may be formed in the light-emitting active area of the display. The fanout signal lines may be formed between a row of pixel control circuits and a bottom edge of the light-emitting active area.
