    Abstract: A gate drive circuit may include a latch circuit, a first transmission gate, and a second transmission gate. The first transmission gate and the second transmission gate may both be directly coupled to the latch circuit and may be directly coupled to a first gate line and a second gate line, respectively. The latch circuit may receive an electrical signal from a third gate line adjacent to the second gate line, such that the electrical signal is configured to reset a state of the latch circuit.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Devices and methods for reducing or eliminating image artifacts are provided. By way of example, a display panel includes row common voltage (VCOM) electrodes each having a first width. The row VCOM electrodes extend along a first direction of the display panel. The display panel also includes column VCOM electrodes each having a second width. The column VCOM electrodes extend along a second direction of the display panel perpendicular to the first direction. The second width of the column VCOM electrodes may be substantially less than the first width of the row VCOM electrodes to increase a resistance of the column VCOM electrodes. By increasing the resistance of the column VCOM electrodes, image artifacts on the display panel may be prevented or eliminated.

    Abstract: A touch sensitive device that can detect the amount of pressure being applied to a touch screen from a user or other external object is provided. A spacer of the touch screen can be coated with a layer of conductive material and the change in capacitance between the spacer and various circuit elements of the touch screen can be measured. The change in capacitance can be correlated to the amount of pressure being applied to the touch screen, thus providing a method to determine the pressure being applied. During operation of the device, the system can time multiplex touch, display and pressure sensing operations so as to take advantage of an integrated touch and display architecture.

    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. Display driver circuitry may supply data and control signals to the pixels. Each pixel may have seven transistors, a capacitor, and a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. The seven transistors may receive control signals using horizontal control lines. Each pixel may have first and second emission enable transistors that are coupled in series with a drive transistor and the light-emitting diode of that pixel. The first and second emission enable transistors may be coupled to a common control line or may be separately controlled so that on-bias stress can be effectively applied to the drive transistor. The display driver circuitry may have gate driver circuits that provide different gate line signals to different rows of pixels within the display. Different rows may also have different gate driver strengths and different supplemental gate line loading structures.
