Abstract: An apparatus receives current image frame data and data relating to at least one previous image frame for an electronic display. One or more parameters related to hysteresis of transistors in the electronic display are sensed. A correlation device, such as a look-up table, receives the sensed parameter or parameters and the data relating to one or more image frames, and uses this information, at least in part, to output an appropriate compensation signal for the current image frame data. The compensated current image frame data may then be supplied to the electronic display to reduce or eliminate the effects of hysteresis on the displayed image.

Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels operating at a low refresh rate. Each display pixel may have six thin-film transistors and one capacitor. One of the six transistors may serve as the drive transistor and may be compensated using the remaining five transistors and the capacitor. One or more on-bias stress operations may be applied before threshold voltage sampling to mitigate first frame dimming. Multiple anode reset and on-bias stress operations may be inserted during vertical blanking periods to reduce flicker and maintain balance and may also be inserted between successive data refreshes to improve first frame performance. Two different emission signals controlling each pixel may be toggled together using a pulse width modulation scheme to help provide darker black levels.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises a display and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a change in a refresh rate of the display from a first frequency to a second frequency. The controller is also configured to selectively generate a control signal configured to control emission of a light emitting diode of a display pixel of the display based on the first frequency.

Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels with light-emitting diodes that emit light to form images. The display may have a substrate with thin-film transistor circuitry for supplying signals to the light-emitting diodes. Anodes may be formed on the thin-film transistor circuitry, emissive material may be formed on the anodes, and a cathode layer may overlap the anodes. During operation, currents may flow between the anodes and the cathode layer to illuminate the diodes. An array of electrical components such as an array of light sensors in an integrated circuit may be mounted under the substrate. An array of corresponding light transmitting windows may be formed in the display each of which may allow light to pass through the display to a corresponding one of the light sensors. Light transmitting windows may be formed by patterning the cathode layer and supplying the windows with antireflection layers.

Abstract: A display may have rows and columns of pixels. Gate lines may be used to supply gate signals to rows of the pixels. Data lines may be used to supply data signals to columns of the pixels. The data lines may include alternating even and odd data lines. Data lines may be organized in pairs each of which includes one of the odd data lines and an adjacent one of the even data lines. Demultiplexer circuitry may be configured dynamically during data loading and pixel sensing operations. During data loading, data from display driver circuitry may be supplied, alternately to odd pairs of the data lines and even pairs of the data lines. During sensing, the demultiplexer circuitry may couple a pair of the even data lines to sensing circuitry in the display driver circuitry and then may couple a pair of the odd data lines to the sensing circuitry.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises a display and a controller. The controller is configured to provide a first frequency refresh rate to the display. The controller is also configured to generate a control signal configured to control emission of a light emitting diode of a display pixel of the display at a second frequency based on whether the first frequency refresh rate of the display is less than a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. Display driver circuitry may supply data and control signals to the pixels. Each pixel may have seven transistors, a capacitor, and a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. The seven transistors may receive control signals using horizontal control lines. Each pixel may have first and second emission enable transistors that are coupled in series with a drive transistor and the light-emitting diode of that pixel. The first and second emission enable transistors may be coupled to a common control line or may be separately controlled so that on-bias stress can be effectively applied to the drive transistor. The display driver circuitry may have gate driver circuits that provide different gate line signals to different rows of pixels within the display. Different rows may also have different gate driver strengths and different supplemental gate line loading structures.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display and a controller. The controller is configured to receive one or more operational characteristics of the display. The controller is also configured to calculate a blank time voltage level for a data line of the display based on the one or more operational characteristics, wherein the blank time voltage level corresponds to a voltage transmitted along the data line of the display immediately subsequent to image data being transmitted along the data line.
