Abstract: A compensation system includes a processor configured to determine compensated data for display on a sub-pixel of the display device. The processor may receive image data configured to be displayed on the sub-pixel, convert the gray level data to first voltage data; fetch, from a memory, compressed 1×1 sub-pixel uniformity compensation data for the sub-pixel, and decompress the compressed 1×1 sub-pixel uniformity compensation data via a decompressor. The decompressed data comprises the 1×1 sub-pixel uniformity compensation data for the sub-pixel. The processor may also determine a voltage compensation offset value associated with the sub-pixel based on the second voltage data, generate compensated voltage data based in part on the voltage compensation offset value and the first voltage data, convert the compensated voltage data to compensated gray level data; and transmit the compensated gray level data to pixel driving circuitry associated with the sub-pixel.

Abstract: A display may include a display panel that emits light. The light from the display panel may be focused by a lens assembly towards a viewer. A light redirecting layer may be included in the display between the display panel and the lens assembly to ensure that the lens assembly receives incident light at an optimal angle. The light redirecting layer may redirect light by different amounts at different portions of the light redirecting layer. The magnitude of the redirection angle may increase with increasing separation from the center of the light redirecting layer. The light redirecting layer may redirect light away from the center of the light redirecting layer. The light redirecting layer may be a geometric phase lens formed using a liquid crystal film. The display may also include a circular polarizer, an additional circular polarizer, and an additional quarter waveplate.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or operating an electronic device that includes or utilizes a display panel. The display panel includes an organic light-emitting diode layer, an encapsulation layer disposed over the organic light-emitting diode layer, and a color filter layer disposed over the encapsulation layer. The color filter layer overhangs the organic light-emitting diode layer and comprises a first color filter cell of a first color component sub-pixel that at least partially overlaps an organic light-emitting diode of a second color component sub-pixel that is a different color compared to the first color component sub-pixel.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display. The display has pixels configured to display an image. The display is mounted in a housing. The housing may include head-mounted support structures configured to support the display for viewing through lenses. The pixels of the display may be covered by a layer of thin-film encapsulation. The thin-film encapsulation may be covered with a cover layer such as a glass cover layer that is attached to the thin-film encapsulation layer by a layer of adhesive. To suppress internal light reflections, the display may include reflection suppression structures. The reflection suppression structures may include an antireflection layer and/or polarizer and waveplate layers. The reflection suppression structures may be formed on an outwardly facing surface of the cover layer and/or between the thin-film encapsulation layer and the cover layer.

Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. Voltage may be applied to the anode of each pixel to control the magnitude of emitted light. The conductivity of the OLED layers may allow leakage current to pass between neighboring anodes in the display. To reduce leakage current and the accompanying cross-talk in a display, the pixel definition layer may disrupt continuity of the OLED layers. The pixel definition layer may have a steep sidewall, a sidewall with an undercut, or a sidewall surface with a plurality of curves to disrupt continuity of the OLED layers. A control gate that is coupled to a bias voltage and covered by gate dielectric may be used to form an organic thin-film transistor that shuts the leakage current channel between adjacent anodes on the display.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display and a gaze tracking system. The electronic device may display images on the display that have a higher resolution in a portion of the display that overlaps a gaze location than other portions of the display. Timing controller circuitry and column driver circuitry may include interpolation and filter circuitry. The interpolation and filter circuitry may be used to perform nearest neighbor interpolation and two-dimensional spatial filtering on low resolution image data. Display driver circuitry may be configured to load higher resolution data into selected portions of a display. The display driver circuitry may include low and high resolution image data buffers and configurable row driver circuitry. Block enable transistors may be included in a display to allow selected blocks of pixels to be loaded with high resolution image data.

Abstract: An electronic device with a display may be provided with an array of pixels each of which includes subpixels formed from organic light-emitting diodes. The electronic device may have support structures such as a head-mountable frame or other head-mountable support structure. Optical structures such as lenses may be provided through which the array of pixels is viewable by a user. The array of pixels and the lenses or other optical structures may be supported by the head-mounted support structure. Light spreading structures may overlap the array of pixels to enhance the fill factor of the pixels. The light spreading structures may be formed from a fiber bundle layer, an array of microlenses, or other optical structures that laterally spread light that has been emitted by the organic light-emitting diodes and thereby enhances the fill factor of the pixels.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of display pixels. To increase the efficiency of the display, the display may also include an array of microlenses. Each microlens may overlap and focus light from a respective pixel. Pixels for one of the colors of light may have a high aspect ratio. These pixels may be covered by two microlenses or a single cylindrical microlens. The microlens dimensions may be tuned to mitigate non-uniformities in the brightness profiles of the pixels. The microlens edges may be laterally shifted towards or away from the center of the light-emitting areas to either reduce or increase the focusing power of the microlens. The microlenses and color filter elements in each pixel may also be shifted to account for the chief ray angle of the display.
