Abstract: A display may have an array of display pixels to display images. Digital display data may be received by a digital-to-analog converter. The digital-to-analog converter can convert the digital display data to analog display data for the display pixels. The magnitudes of the analog display data signals that the digital-to-analog converter provides to the display pixels can be controlled by a control signal such as a reference voltage received by the digital-to-analog converter. A brightness controller may have multiple peak luminance control profiles. A brightness setting may be processed by a look-up table to produce information identifying a selected one of the peak luminance control profiles. The brightness controller may use the selected peak luminance control profile and average frame luminance for the digital display data to produce the reference voltage that controls the digital-to-analog controller.

Abstract: An electronic display includes a display panel, which includes an array of pixels and a driver configured to activate and deactivate the emission of light from each of the pixels in the array. The electronic display also includes a panel driver configured to generate and transmit an emission interrupt signal to the driver, wherein the emission interrupt signal causes the driver to deactivate the emission of light from all pixels in the array for a set period of time prior to a refresh of a line of pixels in the array.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided to identify the occurrence, location, and/or severity of a fracture within an integrated circuit, even when the integrated circuit is not accessible to external inspection. One such method includes obtaining a measurement of a property of the integrated circuit through at least one contact of the integrated circuit. The measurement may include a resistance of a resistive pattern in the integrated circuit or a measurement of current-voltage behavior of a power supply of the integrated circuit. The measurement of the property may be compared to an expected baseline property. Based at least in part on this comparison, whether a fracture of the integrated circuit has occurred and a location of the fracture in the integrated circuit may be determined.

Abstract: A display system has a display panel in which there are a first subset of pixels and a second subset of pixels. A first common voltage generation circuit drives a first common voltage line that is coupled to the first subset, and a second common voltage generation circuit drives a second common voltage line that is coupled to the second subset. A difference circuit has an input coupled to a first node of a pixel in the first subset, and a further input coupled to a first node of a pixel in the second subset. The difference circuit generates a sensed pixel signal difference. The second common voltage generation uses the sensed difference to compensate for pixel leakage differences between the pixels of the first and second subsets. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
