Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display having a gate-on-array (GOA) that generates gate signals in response to an activation signal, pixels that activate in response to a combination of the gate signals and data signals indicative of image data, and sensing circuitry. The sensing circuitry may measure a characteristic response of a gate signal a characteristic response of one or more pixels, or both and compare the characteristic responses to baselines. The electronic device may also include compensation circuitry that applies a compensation to the activation signal and/or to the image data based on the comparisons between the characteristic responses and the baselines.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for mitigating visual artifacts by dynamically tuning bias voltages applied to display pixels. An electronic display may include a display pixel and a bias voltage supply. The bias voltage supply may supply a first bias voltage to the display pixel for a first subframe of a frame of image data. The bias voltage supply may supply a different second bias voltage to the display pixel for a second subframe of the frame of image data. This may mitigate certain image artifacts, such as flicker or variable refresh rate luminance difference, that could arise due to display pixel hysteresis that varies across subframes of the image frame.

Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels, where each pixel in the array includes an organic light-emitting diode coupled to associated thin-film transistors. The thin-film transistors may be controlled using at least first and second horizontal scan line signals. Loading different data values into any given row in the array may cause the scan line signals to exhibit varying rise/fall times, which results in horizontal crosstalk and luminance non-uniformity across the display. The rise and fall times of the second scan line signal are crucial, so the second scan line signal is driven by two separate scan line drivers formed on both sides of the display. Only the fall time of the first scan line signal is crucial, so the first scan line signal is driven by only one peripheral scan line driver and is coupled to an auxiliary pull-down circuit that is only activated during the pull-down transition.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises an electronic display having an active area having a pixel. The electronic device also comprises processing circuitry configured to receive image data to send to the pixel and adjust the image data to generate corrected image data based at least in part on a stored correction value for the pixel. The processing circuitry also is configured to generate a test data to send to the pixel subsequent to sending corrected image data to the pixel, wherein the test data is selected based upon a comparison of at least one aspect of the corrected image data with a threshold value.

Abstract: Electronic devices and methods for compensating for aging or other effects in a display during a non-transmitting state (off state) of the display. Sensing may include emissive element sensing of the display and/or thin film transistor sensing of the display. Compensating for the effects may preserve or increase a uniformity of transmission of the display.

Abstract: An electronic display system may include a display panel used to display an image through emitting light. The electronic display system may also include processing circuitry that receives indication of an image to be displayed on the display panel and generates one or more signals to communicate the image on the display panel. The processing circuitry may compensate for non-uniformities in light emission between pixels of the display due to current-voltage non-uniformities.

Abstract: A system includes an electronic display panel that has a plurality of pixels configured to depict frames of image data. The electronic display also includes display driver circuitry configured to, for a first frame of image data representing first image content, modify a gate-to-source voltage of a transistor of a first pixel of the plurality of pixels to a content-dependent first gate-to-source voltage. Additionally, after modifying the gate-to-source voltage to the first gate-to-source voltage, the display driver circuitry is configured to program the first pixel by modifying the gate-to-source voltage to a gate-to-source programming voltage that differs from the first gate-to-source voltage and is based on image data associated with the pixel from the first frame of the image data. Furthermore, the display driver circuitry is configured to cause the plurality of pixels to emit light.

Abstract: A method for operating an electronic display includes displaying image frames and receiving operational parameters of the electronic display based on illuminating a sense pixel of at least one row of pixels of the electronic display when displaying the image frames. A first set of pixels below the at least one row of pixels renders a portion of a first image frame and a second set of pixels above the at least one row of pixels renders a portion of a second image frame. The method also includes adjusting image display of a third image frame on the electronic display based on the operational parameters.
