    摘要: Systems and methods for efficiently generating display driver timing signals are provided. In one example, display driver circuitry of an electronic display may provide a negative voltage from a negative voltage supply to display control circuitry during a first period and may provide a positive voltage from a positive voltage supply to the display control circuitry during a second period. After providing the negative voltage during the first period but before providing the positive voltage during the second period, the display driver circuitry may precharge the capacitance of the display control circuitry to ground. In this way, the positive voltage supply substantially does not supply charge to raise the voltage on the capacitance of the display control circuitry from the negative voltage to ground.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for calibrating an electronic display to reduce or eliminate a mura artifact are provided. The mura artifact may be due to differential behavior of common voltage layers (VCOMs) in the electronic display. One method for reducing or eliminating the mura artifact may involve setting pixels of the electronic display to a first gray level and measuring a luminance difference between light and dark areas of a mura artifact on the electronic display. A value of an operating parameter of the electronic display may be adjusted while monitoring the luminance difference measurement. A value of the operating parameter that causes the luminance difference measurement to be within a specified range of acceptable luminance difference measurement values may be stored in the electronic display.

    摘要: Methods and devices employing charge removal circuitry are provided to reduce or eliminate artifacts due to a bias voltage remaining on an electronic display after the display is turned off. In one example, a method may include connecting a pixel electrode of a display to ground through charge removal circuitry while the display is off (e.g., using depletion-mode transistors that are active when gates of the depletion-mode transistors are provided a ground voltage). When a corresponding common electrode is also connected to ground, a voltage difference between the pixel electrode and common electrode may be reduced or eliminated, preventing a bias voltage from causing display artifacts in the pixel.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for reducing power consumption of a display. One electronic display includes a first switch coupled between a first gate of a first transistor and a second gate of a second transistor to selectively connect the first gate to the second gate. The display includes a second switch coupled between the second gate of the second transistor and a third gate of a third transistor to selectively connect the second gate to the third gate. The display also includes driving circuitry that controls the first switch to connect the first gate to the second gate to share a first charge between the first and second gates. The driving circuitry also controls the second switch to connect the second gate to the third gate to share a second charge between the second and third gates. Accordingly, power consumption of the display may be reduced.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to estimating and modulating peak luminance of the display substantially in real-time to allow very bright pixels to be shown on the electronic display as long as the total electrical energy drawn by the electronic display does not exceed a threshold. The amount of electrical energy that is being drawn by the electronic display may be estimated from the image data by counting the number of rows of pixels that are emitting pulses in discrete bins of time. Because the pulses draw a predictable amount of electrical energy per row per time bin, the amount of electrical energy drawn by the electronic display may be estimated substantially in real time. The image data on the electronic display may therefore be modulated to avoid drawing too much electrical energy from the power source of the electronic device while permitting a high dynamic range.
