Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to electronic devices with displays. A display may include an array of display pixels each having a drive transistor and an organic light-emitting diode. A pulse-width-modulated current may be provided to the organic light-emitting diode during each display frame to compensate for an on-bias compensation applied to the drive transistor between display frames. The pulse-width-modulated current may be provided with a pulse-width-modulation ratio that decreases over the course of each display frame. The decrease of the pulse-width-modulation ratio for each display frame may be determined based on a peak luminance for that display frame. The reduction in flicker provided by the pulse-width-modulated current may facilitate operation of the display with a reduced refresh rate, thereby reducing power consumption by the display.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display having multiple regions of pixels. Each pixel includes a diode that emits light based on an amount of current through the diode and a transistor that controls the amount of current flowing through the diode. The electronic device includes driver-integrated circuitry that reduces hysteresis in a first transistor of a first pixel of a region of pixels, settles a threshold voltage of the first transistor, applies a test voltage to the first transistor, and senses a current across the first transistor. The electronic device includes processing circuitry that determines a predetermined voltage based on the current and a predetermined current-voltage relationship determined at an initial temperature, determines a voltage difference between the test voltage and the predetermined voltage, and applies the predetermined voltage and the voltage difference to a second transistor of a second pixel of the region of pixels.

Abstract: An electronic device may include processing circuitry configured to generate a first frame of image content and a second frame of image content. The second frame of image content is different from the first frame of image content. The electronic device may also include a display configured to display the first frame of image content at a first refresh rate. In response to receiving the second frame of image content, the electronic device may initially increase the refresh rate before tapering back to the first refresh rate while displaying the second frame of image content.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described here to compensate for crosstalk (e.g., coupling distortions) that may be caused by a fanout overlaid or otherwise affecting signals transmitted within an active area of an electronic display. The systems and methods may be based on buffered previous image data. Technical effects associated with compensating for the crosstalk may include improved display of image frames since some image artifacts are mitigated and/or made unperceivable or eliminated.

Abstract: In a display characterized by regions with different pixel responses due, for example, to local pixel density variation, voltage-to-luminance matching may be non-universal. Therefore, in order to avoid visual artifacts that may hinder a desired visualization of displayed content, it may be advantageous to compensate the different gamma responses. In some cases, such as with electronic devices having a single pixel density across the display, optical calibration may be performed to determine voltage-to-luminance matching. However, in electronic devices with local pixel density variations, it may be disadvantageous to perform optical calibrations for each region with a different pixel density. Instead of using two distinct gamma curves which may include dedicated optical calibration, a global nonlinear scaler (GNLS) compensation may be applied. Embodiments may pertain to techniques for applying a per-channel and band-global gamma-to-voltage compensation to reduce or minimize a relative luminance error amongst different responses of display regions.

Abstract: External compensation of display panels may employ measurement or sensing circuitry configured to measure the output of a pixel and compensate for variations. Due to effects from the sensing circuitry, a mismatch between a target current and the actual current in the pixel may occur. Systems and methods that compensate for the effects from sensing circuitry and reduce or mitigate the mismatch are described. Systems and methods described herein include compensation circuitry that is capable of employing correction factors to compensate for the effects due to the presence of sensing circuitry. Methods for determining the correction factor are also described.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises a controller. The controller is configured to provide a first signal to a display of the electronic device to turn off the display. The controller is also configured to provide a second signal to the display to alter a gate source voltage of a drive transistor coupled to a light emitting diode (LED) of a pixel of the display while the display is turned off.

Abstract: A system includes an electronic display panel that has a plurality of pixels configured to depict frames of image data. The electronic display also includes display driver circuitry configured to, for a first frame of image data representing first image content, modify a gate-to-source voltage of a transistor of a first pixel of the plurality of pixels to a content-dependent first gate-to-source voltage. Additionally, after modifying the gate-to-source voltage to the first gate-to-source voltage, the display driver circuitry is configured to program the first pixel by modifying the gate-to-source voltage to a gate-to-source programming voltage that differs from the first gate-to-source voltage and is based on image data associated with the pixel from the first frame of the image data. Furthermore, the display driver circuitry is configured to cause the plurality of pixels to emit light.
