    Abstract: A system may include buffer circuitry that receives an input signal representative of image data for display via a pixel. The buffer circuitry may provide a first driving signal during a first frame of the image data to the pixel based on the input signal. The buffer circuitry may include slew booster circuitry. The slew booster circuitry may supply a voltage boost (e.g., additional voltage) to differential pair stage circuitry of the buffer circuit in response to a difference between the input signal and a second driving signal exceeding a threshold increase a rate of change of the input signal provided. The second driving signal may be provided to the pixel during a second frame of the image data preceding the first frame.

    Abstract: A display device may include a plurality of pixels that display image data on a display, a digital-to-analog converter that outputs a voltage that corresponds to a luminance value to be depicted on a first pixel, and a circuit that amplifies the voltage and outputs an amplified voltage to the first pixel. The circuit may include a capacitor that receives the voltage via the digital-to-analog converter and an amplifier coupled to the capacitor. The amplifier generates the amplified voltage based on the voltage stored the capacitor. The circuit also include switches that couple a first terminal of the capacitor to an output of the amplifier during a first amount of time and couples a second terminal of the capacitor to the output of the amplifier after the first amount of time expires.
