    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display. A gaze detection system may gather information on a user's point of gaze on the display. Based on the point-of-gaze information, control circuitry in the electronic device may produce image data for an image with areas of different resolutions. A full-resolution portion of the image may overlap the point of gaze. Lower resolution portions of the image may surround the full-resolution portion. The display may have a pixel array. The pixel array may include rows and columns of pixels. Data lines may be used to supply data to the columns of pixels in accordance with row selection signals supplied to the rows of pixels. Display driver circuitry may be used to display the image using the pixel array. The display driver circuitry may have row selection circuitry and column expander circuitry that are responsive to a resolution mode selection signal.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing and a display in the housing. The display may have one or more curved edges such as curved edges associated with rounded corners in the display and housing. The display may have an array of pixels. The display may include full-strength pixels and may have a band of antialiasing pixels having selectively reduced strengths to visually smooth content displayed along the curved edges. The pixels may be organic light-emitting diode pixels, liquid crystal display pixels, or other display pixels. Organic light-emitting diode pixels may have drive transistors and associated organic light-emitting diodes. Selectively elevated series or opaque light blocking structures of selectively reduced areas may be used to selectively reduce the strength of the antialiasing pixels. Liquid crystal display pixels may include electrodes of different shapes and/or opaque layer openings of different sizes to form antialiasing pixels in desired patterns.

    Abstract: A display is provided that includes an array of display pixels and gate driver circuitry for providing data and gate line signals to the display pixels. Gate driver circuitry may include gate driver circuits that generate the gate line signals. A gate driver circuit may include at least a buffer transistor, a bootstrapping capacitor coupled to the buffer transistor, a pulldown transistor coupled in series with the buffer transistor, and an isolation transistor coupled to the gate of the pulldown transistor. The buffer transistor may directly receive a first clock signal, whereas the isolation transistor may directly receive a second clock signal that is complementary to the first clock signal. The pulldown transistor is substantially larger than the buffer transistor. The buffer transistor is substantially larger than the isolation transistor. Configured as such, clock loading is minimized while the pulldown transistor is sized to provide the desired fall time performance.

    Abstract: A display may have an active area surrounded by an inactive border area. The display may be a liquid crystal display having a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between a color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. An upper polarizer may have a polarized central region that overlaps the active area of the display. The upper polarizer may also have an unpolarized portion in the inactive border area overlapping the border structures. The border structures may include colored material such as a white layer on the inner surface of the thin-film transistor layer. Binary information may be embedded into an array of programmable resonant circuits. The binary information may be a display identifier or other information associated with a display. The programmable resonant circuits may be tank circuits with adjustable capacitors, fuses, or other programmable components.
