摘要: A light emitter that operates through a display may cause display artifacts, even when the light emitter operates using non-visible wavelengths. Display artifacts caused by a light emitter that operates through a display may be referred to as emitter artifacts. To mitigate emitter artifacts, operating conditions for a display frame may be used to determine an optimal firing time for the light emitter during that display frame. The operating conditions used to determine the optimal firing time may include emitter operating conditions, display content statistics, display brightness, temperature, and refresh rate. Operating conditions from one or more previous frames may be stored in a frame buffer and may be used to help determine the optimal firing time for the light emitter during a display frame. Pixel values for the display may be modified to mitigate emitter artifacts.

摘要: A light emitter that operates through a display may cause display artifacts, even when the light emitter operates using non-visible wavelengths. To mitigate artifacts caused by a light emitter operating through a display, the display may have a higher density of thin-film transistor sub-pixels than emissive sub-pixels. This allows for a region in the display to include emissive sub-pixels but be free of thin-film transistor sub-pixels. The light emitter may operate through this region in the display. Additionally, to reduce the amount of space occupied in the inactive area of a display by gate driver circuitry, at least a portion of the gate driver circuitry may be positioned in the active area of the display. To accommodate the gate driver circuitry, emissive sub-pixels may be laterally shifted relative to corresponding thin-film transistor sub-pixels.

摘要: An electronic device may include a display and an optical sensor formed underneath the display. The electronic device may include a locally modified region that overlaps the optical sensor. The locally modified region of the display may have a modification relative to a normal region of the display that does not overlap the optical sensor. The modification may mitigate diffractive artifacts that would otherwise impact the optical sensor that senses light passing through the display. To mitigate diffraction artifacts, the locally modified region of the display may use spatial randomization (e.g., spatial randomization of signal paths and/or spatial randomization of via locations), opaque structures may be formed with circular footprints, a black masking layer may be formed with circular openings, apodization may be used, and/or a phase randomization film may be included.

摘要: A display may have a stretchable portion with hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands. A flexible interconnect region may be interposed between the hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands. The hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands may include organic light-emitting diode (OLED) pixels. A conductive cutting structure may have an undercut that causes a discontinuity in a conductive OLED layer to mitigate lateral leakage. The conductive cutting structure may also be electrically connected to a cathode for the OLED pixels and provide a cathode voltage to the cathode. First and second inorganic passivation layers may be formed over the OLED pixels. Multiple discrete portions of an organic inkjet printed layer may be interposed between the first and second inorganic passivation layers.

摘要: An electronic device may have a display with an active area configured to display images and an inactive area that is free of pixels and that does not display images. Touch sensor sense lines may have portions located in the active area and portions located in the inactive area. The active and inactive areas may be characterized by respective reflectivity values. To match the reflectivities of the active and inactive areas and thereby avoid undesired visually distinguishable differences in the appearances of these areas, the touch sensor circuitry in the inactive areas may be configured to match the reflectivity values of the active and inactive areas. Sense line portions in the inactive area may have metal traces of enhanced reflectivity and/or uneven surface topology to enhance ambient light reflections through a circular polarizer that overlaps the active and inactive areas.

摘要: An electronic device may include a substrate, an array of display pixels formed on the substrate, first conductive contacts on the substrate, second conductive contacts on the substrate, a flexible printed circuit that is attached to the first conductive contacts, a display driver integrated circuit that is attached to the second conductive contacts, and conductive traces that electrically connect the first conductive contacts to the second conductive contacts. A dielectric layer may cover at least the sidewalls of the conductive traces to protect the conductive traces from damage by an etchant. Subsequently, some or all of the dielectric layer may be removed to prevent damage caused by moisture ingress into the cladding layer.
