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: A system may include an electronic display panel having pixels, where each pixel emits light based on a respective programming signal applied to the pixel. The system may also include processing circuitry to determine a respective control signal upon which the respective programing signal for each pixel is based. The processing circuitry may determine each respective control signal based at least in part on approximations of respective pixel brightness-to-data relationship as defined by a function having variables stored in memory accessible to the processing circuitry.

Abstract: A display may have one or more bent portions. To increase the magnitude of curvature in a display and/or to allow for compound curvature in the display, a display panel may be partially formed in a planar state. The partial display panel is then bent to have desired curvature. After the partial display panel is bent, additional display components that are susceptible to damage during the bending process may be added to complete the display panel. A flexible printed circuit may be formed directly on the display panel using precise deposition of conductive material. By forming the flexible printed circuit layer-by-layer directly on the display panel, no substantive pressure needs to be applied to the display panel. Electrical connections may therefore be made to the display panel in regions of the display with high levels of curvature and/or with compound curvature without causing front-of-screen artifacts for the display panel.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or operating an electronic device including a display pixel layer, which writes a display image during an active period and continues displaying the display image during a blanking period, and a touch sense layer, which generates a first touch image during the active period and a second touch image during the blanking period. The electronic device further includes a controller that determines a first noise metric indicative of display-to-touch noise resulting during the active period based on the first touch image, determines a second noise metric indicative of display-to-touch noise resulting during the blanking period based on the second touch image, and instructs the touch sense layer to not generate a third touch image during a subsequent active period in response to the first noise metric being greater than a noise threshold and the second noise metric not being greater than the noise threshold.

Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels. Each display pixel may include a drive transistor coupled in series with one or more emission transistors and a respective organic light-emitting diode (OLED). A semiconducting-oxide transistor may be coupled between a drain terminal and a gate terminal of the drive transistor to help reduce leakage during low-refresh-rate display operations. To compensate for variations in the threshold voltage of the semiconducting-oxide transistor, the magnitude of a high voltage level of a scan control signal provided to the gate terminal of the semiconducting-oxide transistor may be adjusted. Sensing circuitry may be used to sense a display current while displaying a calibration image. The sensed display current may be compared to an expected display current associated with the calibration image. Processing circuitry may update the high voltage level based on the actual display current compared to the expected display current.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a head-mounted device may have displays. The display may have regions of lower (L) and higher (M, H) resolution to reduce data bandwidth and power consumption for the display while preserving satisfactory image quality. Data lines may be shared by lower and higher resolution portions of a display or different portions of a display with different resolutions may be supplied with different numbers of data lines. Data line length may be varied in transition regions between lower resolution and higher resolution portions of a display to reduce visible discontinuities between the lower and higher resolution portions. The lower and higher resolution portions of the display may be dynamically adjusted using dynamically adjustable gate driver circuitry and dynamically adjustable data line driver circuitry.

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.
