    Abstract: PWM-frame rate misalignment is mitigated through implementation of a discrete variable refresh rate (VRR) scheme. A target frame rate is limited to a frame rate selected from only those frame rates that facilitate alignment of each frame period to a specified edge of a PWM cycle of a brightness control signal of a display panel. This alignment results in each frame period at the selected frame rate starting at a same point in a corresponding PWM cycle and ending at a same point in a corresponding PWM cycle to help ensure a constant effective duty cycle across each successive frame period, which in turn mitigates perception of flicker that otherwise would arise. Further, the discrete VRR scheme can employ a compensation mode for compensating for the delay in rendering or otherwise obtaining a frame for display so as to maintain a consistent duty cycle in the brightness control signal.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for gamma lookup table compression. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a gamma value for a pixel of an image to be shown on a display, determining a base gamma value based on a base lookup table that corresponds to a base display condition, determining a delta gamma value based on a delta lookup table that corresponds to a current display condition for the pixel, determining a remapped gamma value for the pixel based on a combination of the base gamma value and the delta gamma value, and providing the remapped gamma value to be shown on the display.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for three sub-color correction based on two-dimensional graphs. In an aspect, a method includes obtaining an image to be shown on a display, determining three sub-color values of a particular pixel in the image, including a first sub-color value for a first sub-color, a second sub-color value for a second sub-color, and a third sub-color value for a third sub-color of the particular pixel, obtaining a representation of a two-dimensional graph of color-correction curves, selecting a selected color-correction curve to use to correct the first sub-color value based on both the second sub-color value and the third sub-color value, determining a corrected first sub-color value based on the first sub-color value, and outputting the image using the corrected first sub-color value instead of the first sub-color value.

    Abstract: A method for driving an organic light emitting diode display having a first plurality of pixel lines having a first pixel density and a second plurality of pixel lines having a second pixel density higher than the first pixel density, the method including driving the first and second plurality of pixel lines with corresponding drive signals at a frame rate at which frames are displayed, where during each of the frames the drive signals have a pixel on time during which pixels in the pixel lines driven by the drive signals emit light and a pixel off time during which pixels in the pixel lines driven by the drive signals are dark, where the pixel on times and the pixel off times are varied between the drive signals to reduce variations in luminance.

    Abstract: A first image is rendered on an active area of an OLED display panel with a first refresh rate that is below a threshold refresh rate and, subsequent to rendering the first image with the first refresh rate, a second image that is different from the first image is rendered on the active area, where the rendering of the second image includes rendering a number of initial frames of the second image at a second refresh rate that is at or above the threshold refresh rate. After rendering the number of initial frames of the second image at the second refresh rate, additional frames of the second image on the active area are rendered with the first refresh rate, where the number of initial frames is greater than 1.
