Abstract: A system may include an electronic display panel having multiple pixels for depicting image data and processing circuitry that may receive a first error value representative of a first difference between a first electrical signal measured at a first pixel of the multiple pixels and an expected electrical signal for the first pixel. The first electrical signal may be based on a test signal transmitted to the first pixel and the expected electrical signal may correspond to an expected response of the first pixel based on the test signal. The processing circuitry may filter the first error value to generate a first compensated error value and may filter the first error value based on the first compensated error value to generate a second compensated error value, where the second compensated error value may filter one or more effects of spatial crosstalk between one or more pixels near the first pixel.

Abstract: Current-voltage shift determination circuitry of a processing core complex coupled to the electronic display determines total current-voltage shift values at a pixel. The current-voltage shift determination circuitry then determines temperature-based current-voltage shift values at the pixel. The current-voltage shift determination circuitry extracts the temperature-based current-voltage shift values from the total current-voltage shift values to determine age-based voltage degradation values. Display compensation circuitry of the processing core complex adjusts display of image data by the pixel based on the age-based voltage degradation values. In this manner, voltage degradation due to pixel aging may be determined separately from current-voltage shift due to temperature, and, as such, be more accurately compensated for, resulting in better display of image data. Compensation may thus be performed based on the age of the pixels and a sensed temperature at the pixels, instead of by constantly sensing current across the diodes of the pixels.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for differential sensing (DS), difference-differential sensing (DDS), correlated double sampling (CDS), and/or programmable capacitor matching to reduce display panel sensing noise. An electronic device may include one or more processors and an electronic display. The one or more processors may generate image data and adjust the image data based at least in part on display sensing feedback. The electronic display may employ sensing circuitry that obtains the display sensing feedback at least in part by applying test data to a pixel of a column of an active area of the display and differentially senses an electrical value of the pixel in comparison to a reference signal from a different column. This reference signal may provide a common mode noise reference, which is removed by the differential sensing and thereby enhances a quality of the sensed electrical value of the pixel.

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: Electronic displays, systems, and methods that perform display panel sensing are provided. An electronic device may include processing circuitry that generates image data based at least in part on display panel sensing feedback and an electronic display. The electronic display may display the image data on pixels coupled to one of several sense lines. There may be an odd number of sense lines with common electrical characteristics. The electronic display may obtain display panel sense feedback at least in part by differentially sensing each one of the sense lines with sense lines with common electrical characteristics with another one of the sense lines the common electrical characteristics.

Abstract: A method for operating an electronic display includes displaying image frames and receiving operational parameters of the electronic display based on illuminating a sense pixel of at least one row of pixels of the electronic display when displaying the image frames. A first set of pixels below the at least one row of pixels renders a portion of a first image frame and a second set of pixels above the at least one row of pixels renders a portion of a second image frame. The method also includes adjusting image display of a third image frame on the electronic display based on the operational parameters.
