    Abstract: A display may have a substrate layer to which a display driver integrated circuit and flexible printed circuit are bonded. The display driver integrated circuit may be provided with switches and control circuitry for controlling the operation of the switches during bond resistance measurements. Test equipment may apply currents to pads in the display driver integrated circuit through contacts in the flexible printed circuit while controlling the switching circuitry. Based on these measurements and the measurement of trace resistances in a dummy flexible printed circuit, the test equipment may determine bond resistances for bonds between the display driver integrated circuit and the display substrate and between the flexible printed circuit and the display substrate. Displays may have master and slave display driver integrated circuits that share coarse reference voltages produced by the master from raw power supply voltages.

    Abstract: Methods and devices employing charge removal circuitry are provided to reduce or eliminate artifacts due to a bias voltage remaining on an electronic display after the display is turned off. In one example, a method may include connecting a pixel electrode of a display to ground through charge removal circuitry while the display is off (e.g., using depletion-mode transistors that are active when gates of the depletion-mode transistors are provided a ground voltage). When a corresponding common electrode is also connected to ground, a voltage difference between the pixel electrode and common electrode may be reduced or eliminated, preventing a bias voltage from causing display artifacts in the pixel.

    Abstract: A display may have a color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. A layer of liquid crystal material may be located between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. A transparent conductive shielding layer may be formed on the lower surface of the thin-film transistor layer. Grounding structures may ground the transparent conductive shielding layer to a ground. The ground may be formed form metal traces on a flexible printed circuit. The display may have a backlight unit. Light-emitting diodes may be used to provide backlight for the backlight unit. The light-emitting diodes may be mounted on the flexible printed circuit. The grounding structures may be formed from a rectangular ring-shaped conductive tape or other conductive structures.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for calibrating an electronic display to reduce or eliminate a mura artifact are provided. The mura artifact may be due to differential behavior of common voltage layers (VCOMs) in the electronic display. One method for reducing or eliminating the mura artifact may involve setting pixels of the electronic display to a first gray level and measuring a luminance difference between light and dark areas of a mura artifact on the electronic display. A value of an operating parameter of the electronic display may be adjusted while monitoring the luminance difference measurement. A value of the operating parameter that causes the luminance difference measurement to be within a specified range of acceptable luminance difference measurement values may be stored in the electronic display.
