Abstract: Electronic devices, displays, and methods are provided for operating an electronic display in coexistence with sensors that could be adversely impacted by the operation of the electronic display. An electronic device may include an electronic display and a sensor. The electronic display may display image content by light emission during an emission period and periodically enter a quiet period in which the light emission of the electronic display is turned off. The sensor may perform sensing operations during the quiet period without interference from the operation of the electronic display.

Abstract: An integrated touchscreen can include light emitting diodes or organic light emitting diodes (LEDs/OLEDs), display chiplets and touch chiplets disposed in a visible area of the integrated touch screen. For example, the LEDs/OLEDs, display chiplets and touch chiplets can be placed on a substrate by a micro-transfer tool. The integrated touchscreen can also include electrodes disposed in the visible area of the integrated touch screen. The electrodes can be capable of providing display functionality via the one or more display chiplets during display operation (e.g., operating as cathode terminals of the LEDs during the display operation) and capable of providing touch functionality via the touch chiplets during touch operation (e.g., touch node electrodes can be formed from groups of the electrodes and sensed). In some examples, the touch node electrodes can be formed and coupled to touch chiplets via the display chiplets.

Abstract: Design-for-test (DFT) architectures, and methods of testing an array of chips, which may be identical, are described. In an embodiment, a comparison circuit includes a plurality of comparators to compare scan-data out (SDO) data streams with an expected data stream and transmit a compared data stream that is indicated of whether or not an error exists in any of the SDO data streams.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses provide a digital architecture with merged non-linear emission clocks for a display panel. In one embodiment, a display driver hardware circuit includes decoder logic to store a mapping between a plurality of non-linear gray scale clock signals and a merged non-linear gray scale clock signal that represents a combination of the plurality of non-linear gray scale clock signals including first and second non-linear gray scale clock signals. In one example, the first non-linear gray scale clock signal is associated with at least one display element of a first color and the second non-linear gray scale clock signal is associated with at least one display element of a second color. A driver circuitry is coupled to the decoder logic. The driver circuitry includes a counter to store a number of pulses of the merged non-linear gray scale clock signal and driving circuitry to cause emission of the at least one display element of a first color based on the first non-linear gray scale clock signal.
