    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels. Each pixel in the array may include a drive transistor, emission transistors, a data loading transistor, a gate voltage setting transistor, an initialization transistor, an anode reset transistor, a storage capacitor, and an optional current boosting capacitor coupled in series with an isolation transistor. A data refresh may include a initialization phase, a threshold voltage sampling phase, and a data programming phase. The threshold voltage sampling phase can be substantially longer than the data programming phase to decrease a current sampling level during the threshold voltage sampling phase, which helps reduce the display luminance sensitivity to temperature variations. During a data refresh, the isolation transistor can be turned on to provide current boosting. During emission periods, the isolation transistor is turned off to prevent cathode noise from potentially coupling through to one or more direct-current voltage nodes in the pixel.

    Abstract: A power management integrated circuit (PMIC) of an electronic display may include image data reference voltage adjustment circuitry, a negative supply voltage generator that may generate a negative supply voltage with multiple negative supply voltages, and/or a dedicated timing controller. The image data reference voltage adjustment circuitry may tune image data reference voltages for generating programming voltages based on receiving an indication of an undesired direct current (DC) voltage offset, an undesired alternating current (AC) noise, or both. The image data reference voltage adjustment circuitry may receive the indication from a display panel of the electronic display. The negative supply voltage generator may elevate a voltage of the negative supply voltage to reduce a power consumption of the electronic display. The dedicated timing controller may improve (e.g., reduce length of) a frequency range of one or more switched voltages of the PMIC to reduce front of screen artifacts.

    Abstract: A display may have rows and columns of pixels. Gate lines may be used to supply gate signals to rows of the pixels. Data lines may be used to supply data signals to columns of the pixels. The data lines may include alternating even and odd data lines. Data lines may be organized in pairs each of which includes one of the odd data lines and an adjacent one of the even data lines. Demultiplexer circuitry may be configured dynamically during data loading and pixel sensing operations. During data loading, data from display driver circuitry may be supplied, alternately to odd pairs of the data lines and even pairs of the data lines. During sensing, the demultiplexer circuitry may couple a pair of the even data lines to sensing circuitry in the display driver circuitry and then may couple a pair of the odd data lines to the sensing circuitry.
