    Abstract: A system may include buffer circuitry that receives an input signal representative of image data for display via a pixel. The buffer circuitry may provide a first driving signal during a first frame of the image data to the pixel based on the input signal. The buffer circuitry may include slew booster circuitry. The slew booster circuitry may supply a voltage boost (e.g., additional voltage) to differential pair stage circuitry of the buffer circuit in response to a difference between the input signal and a second driving signal exceeding a threshold increase a rate of change of the input signal provided. The second driving signal may be provided to the pixel during a second frame of the image data preceding the first frame.

    Abstract: A system includes a pixel that emits light based on a signal provided to the pixel. The system may also include a buffer circuit having a differential pair stage, a cascade stage, and an output stage. The differential pair stage may receive a common mode voltage signal via a first switch in response to the first switch receiving a first signal that causes the first switch to close. The differential pair stage may couple a capacitor to the output stage via a second switch that operate based on a second signal, such that the capacitor reduces an offset provided by one or more circuit components in the differential pair stage, the cascade stage, the output stage, or any combination thereof. The differential pair stage may output the common mode voltage to the pixel via the output stage in response to the first signal being present.

    Abstract: An electronic display may include a pixel circuit. The pixel circuit may include memory storage to store data values representative of image data to be depicted via the pixel circuit. The memory storage may also include memory components for storing bits of the data value. The pixel circuit may also include a light-emitting device for emitting light based at least in part on the data value and a controller. The controller may receive the data value and store the bits based on a mapping between the bits and the memory components. The mapping may be determined based on routing one or more of the bits associated with one or more defective memory components of the memory components to one or more other memory components of the memory components. The controller may also drive the light-emitting device to emit light based on the bits stored in accordance with the mapping.
