    Abstract: An electronic device includes a transparent surface, a light emitting device that emits light through the transparent surface, and a light sensor for receiving ambient light and providing an ambient light value. A retarder and a linear polarizer are placed between the transparent surface and the light emitting device. The retarder and linear polarizer may attenuate internal reflections from the transparent surface. The light sensor may have two channels and a second linear polarizer may attenuate the ambient light directed toward a second channel. A second retarder may be used with the second linear polarizer to attenuate the ambient light directed toward the second channel. A light detection circuit may use the difference between the two channels of the light sensor to provide the ambient light value.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels. The device may have an array of components such as an array of light sensors for capturing fingerprints of a user through an array of corresponding transparent windows in the display. A capacitive touch sensor, proximity sensor, force sensor, or other sensor may be used by control circuitry in the device to monitor for the presence of a user's finger over the array of light sensors. In response, the control circuitry can direct the display to illuminate a subset of the pixels, thereby illuminating the user's finger and causing reflected light from the finger to illuminate the array of light sensors for a fingerprint capture operation. The display may have display driver circuitry that facilitates the momentary illumination of the subset of pixels with uniform flash data while image data is displayed in other portions of the display.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display having multiple pixels to display an image based on processed image data. Each of the pixels may include multiple sub-pixels. The electronic device may also include image processing circuitry to receive input image data, in a first color space, having luminance values for each of the sub-pixels. The circuitry may also map the input image data from the first color space to a second color space and apply a multi-dimensional lookup table, based on the input image data in the second color space, to generate compensated image data. The lookup table may receive the luminance values for each of the sub-pixels and output corrected luminance values compensated for an expected amount of current leakage between the sub-pixels. The circuitry may also inversely map the compensated image data from the second color space to the first color space to generate the processed image data.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display. A content generator may generate frames of image data to be displayed on the display. The display may have an array of pixels that emit light to display images. The pixels may contain light-emitting devices such as organic light-emitting diodes, quantum dot light-emitting diodes, and light-emitting diodes formed from discrete semiconductor dies. As a result of aging, the light producing capabilities of the light-emitting devices may degrade over time. The electronic device may have a temperature sensor that gathers temperature measurements. A pixel luminance degradation compensator may apply compensation factors to uncorrected pixel luminance values associated with the frames of image data to produce corresponding corrected pixel luminance values for the display. The compensation factors may be based on aging history information such as pixel luminance history and temperature measurements.

    Abstract: A display may have an array of display pixels. Digital display data may be received by a digital-to-analog converter that converts the digital display data to analog display data. The magnitudes of the analog display data signals can be controlled by a regulated voltage received by the digital-to-analog converter. A brightness controller may have multiple peak luminance control (PLC) profiles. In accordance with an embodiment, a brightness setting may be processed by a lookup table to identify a pair of PLC profiles that is interpolated in order to obtain the desired regulated voltage. In accordance with another embodiment, a single PLC profile may be used that is a function of a combined parameter that takes into account both average frame luminance and the brightness setting. In accordance with yet another embodiment, a lookup table that specifies brightness setting offset values may be used to directly modulate the brightness setting.
