    Abstract: An electronic device may include a display panel to display an image and a display pipeline to process image data for the image. The display pipeline may include a controller to determine a first potential presentation time based on a maximum refresh rate of the display panel. The controller may also determine if a second target presentation time of a second image is equal to the first potential presentation time before a pipeline configuration time, and if the second target presentation time of the second image is equal to a second potential presentation time that occurs after the first potential presentation time and before a first pre-notification time occurring before the pipeline configuration time. The controller may output a first pre-notification signal at the first pre-notification time that instructs the display panel to pause self-refreshes until after the second image is displayed.

    Abstract: In situations with reduced image changes, display panels, such as the ones disclosed herein, may reduce their power consumption by performing self-refresh cycles, in which they may display locally stored data in the display panel instead of retrieving it from an image buffer. Methods and circuitry for management of the self-refresh cycle may reduce jitter, luminance errors, and/or flickers that may be caused by untimely self-refresh cycles that may occur as a result of latency in the image buffer. In some implementations, the display panel may have a dedicated low latency input that notifies an arrival of an incoming image. In some implementations, the self-refresh cycles of the panel may be managed by a host or a buffer that is responsible for sending the images.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a display system to generate and display data on a display device, the display system comprising one or more graphics processors to generate one or more frames of data for display on the display device; display logic to receive a request to display the one or more frames of data, the request including a requested presentation time in which the one or more frames of data are to be displayed; and a display engine to present the one or more frames of data to the display device for display at a target presentation time, the target presentation time derived from the requested presentation time, wherein the display engine is to adjust a refresh rate of the display device based on the target presentation time of the one or more frames of data.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are presented that provide for improving color accuracy. An electronic display includes a display region having multiple pixels each having multiple subpixels. The electronic device also includes a display pipeline coupled to the electronic display. The display pipeline is configured to receive image data and perform white point compensation on the image data to compensate for a current drop in the display to cause the display to display a target white point when displaying white. The display pipeline also is configured to correct white point overcompensation on the image data to reduce possible oversaturation of non-white pixels using the white point compensation. Finally, the display pipeline is configured to output the compensated and corrected image data to the electronic display to facilitate displaying the compensated and corrected image data on the display region.
