Abstract: An electronic device includes processors that generate image data. The electronic device also includes an electronic display that displays the image data over a first frame duration by programming a first row of display pixels with the image data. The electronic display also displays the image data over the first frame duration by causing the first row of display pixels to emit light for an emission duration that is based at least in part on a first luminance of the image data. The electronic display further displays the image data over the first frame duration by resetting the first row of pixels before an end of the first frame duration.

Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels each of which has a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. A drive transistor and an emission transistor may be coupled in series with the light-emitting diode of each pixel between a positive power supply and a ground power supply. The pixels may include first and second switching transistors. A data storage capacitor may be coupled between a gate and source of the drive transistor in each pixel. Signal lines may be provided in columns of pixels to route signals such as data signals, sensed drive currents from the drive transistors, and predetermined voltages between display driver circuitry and the pixels. The switching transistors, emission transistors, and drive transistors may include semiconducting-oxide transistors and silicon transistors and may be n-channel transistors or p-channel transistors.

Abstract: An electronic device that includes processing circuitry configured to generate a frame of image data that has a frame duration is provided. The electronic device includes a display that has a plurality of pixels. Each of the plurality of pixels displays image data from the frame of image data for a pixel emission period that is less than the frame duration. A first pixel of a column of pixels of the plurality of pixels begins displaying the image data from the frame of image data at a first time for a first duration. A second pixel of the column of pixels that is adjacent to the first pixel begins displaying the image data from the frame of image data at a second time for a second duration. The first and second durations are equal to the pixel emission period. The second time begins after the first duration of time.

Abstract: An electronic display includes an active area having an array of pixels. The electronic display also includes multiple data power rails coupled to the active area that supply power to the array of pixels. The electronic display further includes data driving circuitry coupled to the multiple data power rails that drive the array of pixels. The electronic display also includes a controller coupled to the data driving circuitry having a processor. The processor causes the array of pixels to emit light based on a display brightness value. The processor also causes a pixel of the array of pixels to emit light at a brightness of gray level 0 by dynamically adjusting a data power rail of the multiple data power rails.

Abstract: In order to reduce non-uniform luminance and/or chrominance, a display panel can determine, on a pixel-by-pixel basis in at least a row of pixels, a correction for voltage drops in the display panel. The voltage drop can be estimated based on a state of pixels in the display panel corresponding to at least a portion of a current frame of image data and at least a portion of a previous frame of image data. Moreover, based on the correction, the display plane can modify on the pixel-by-pixel basis in at least the row: a supply voltage applied to the display panel; a digital representation of the image data in the current frame that correspond to the pixels; and pixel drive signals corresponding to the image data in the current frame. Furthermore, the correction may be based on a predefined calibration constant and/or may be dynamically calculated.

Abstract: An electronic device includes an electronic display, whereby the electronic display includes an active area that includes a pixel having a display behavior that varies with temperature. The electronic display also includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may, when in operation, generate 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, wherein the stored correction value corresponds to an effect of temperature on the pixel.

Abstract: Devices and methods related to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are provided. For example, such an electronic device may include an LCD with a slew rate control unit that adjusts a slew rate for source drivers of the LCD. The slew rate may be adjusted differently for each source driver and for each frame of data signal delivered by the source driver. Individually adjusting the slew rate of the source driver enables the LCD to respond to or reduce noise within the LCD that may otherwise contribute to flickering or other unwanted display events.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting and displaying image data to account for variable common voltage error across separate common electrode sub-plates. The image data may be adjusted based on a common mode common voltage error on a common voltage line coupled to more than one different common electrode sub-plate. Each common electrode sub-plate may carry a common voltage that varies depending on values of the image data programmed to pixels associated with that common electrode sub-plate.
