    摘要: An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels. The device may have an array of components such as an array of light sensors for capturing fingerprints of a user through an array of corresponding transparent windows in the display. A capacitive touch sensor, proximity sensor, force sensor, or other sensor may be used by control circuitry in the device to monitor for the presence of a user's finger over the array of light sensors. In response, the control circuitry can direct the display to illuminate a subset of the pixels, thereby illuminating the user's finger and causing reflected light from the finger to illuminate the array of light sensors for a fingerprint capture operation. The display may have display driver circuitry that facilitates the momentary illumination of the subset of pixels with uniform flash data while image data is displayed in other portions of the display.

    摘要: A display device includes a first display area including a plurality of first pixel areas, a second display area including a plurality of second pixel areas and a plurality of transmission areas, a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix form in the first and second display areas, and a first signal line and a second signal line disposed to correspond to each pixel column in the plurality of pixels. In each pixel column, one of the first and second signal lines may extend over the first and second display areas, and a remaining one of the first and second signal lines may not be disposed in the second display area.

    摘要: An embodiment method of measuring ambient light comprises generating, by an ambient light sensor associated with a screen which alternates between first phases in which light is emitted and second phases in which no light is emitted by the screen, a first signal representative of an intensity of light received by the ambient light sensor during the first and second phases; comparing the first signal with a threshold intensity value; and controlling a timing of an ambient light measurement by the light sensor based on the comparison.

    摘要: A device and method of an image processing system where a Field Sequential Color Delta Sigma Pulse Density Modulation is used for digital displays, where the digital displays are non-emissive. The device and method are a digital driving solution using Delta Sigma Encoding where N bit-per-component symbols at F1 frame-rate-per-second are represented using M bits-per-component symbols at F2 frame-rate-per-second, where N≥M and F2≥F1. The F2 frames are sent to a sequential color picker, which outputs frames with one color, followed by the next in a sequential pattern which reduces power consumption, increases color saturation, increases contrast, and increases brightness.

    摘要: A driving method includes, at a first display brightness value, inputting a pulse-width modulation signal with a duty ratio of X, and controlling a light-emitting driving current of a sub-pixel unit to be M, wherein X and M are obtained according to a first modulation rule; and at a second display brightness value, inputting the pulse-width modulation signal with a duty ratio of Y1, and controlling the light-emitting driving current of the sub-pixel unit to be N1, wherein the first display brightness value is greater than the second one, wherein, when the duty ratio and the light-emitting driving current corresponding to the second display brightness value are obtained according to the first modulation rule, the duty ratio corresponding to the second display brightness value is Y2, the light-emitting driving current corresponding to the second display brightness value is N2, Y1 is smaller than Y2, and N1 is greater than N2.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to adjusting an illumination of a user depicted in one or more images when using a video conferencing application. In one example, one or more images depicting the user may be received from an image sensor. Further, an illumination of the user depicted in the one or more images may be determined to be unsatisfactory. For example, the user's face may be too bright or too dim. Accordingly, content displayed at a display device may identified and then modified. The modified content may then be rendered to a display device thereby changing the illumination of the user depicted in subsequent images. In examples, the modified content may include a graphical element, such as a ring of a specific color at least partially surrounding content rendered to and displayed at the display device.

    摘要: The OLED voltage of a selected pixel is extracted from the pixel produced when the pixel is programmed so that the pixel current is a function of the OLED voltage. One method for extracting the OLED voltage is to first program the pixel in a way that the current is not a function of OLED voltage, and then in a way that the current is a function of OLED voltage. During the latter stage, the programming voltage is changed so that the pixel current is the same as the pixel current when the pixel was programmed in a way that the current was not a function of OLED voltage. The difference in the two programming voltages is then used to extract the OLED voltage.
