摘要: 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. 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.

摘要: A display may include an array of pixels, where each pixel in the array includes an organic light-emitting diode coupled to associated thin-film transistors. The thin-film transistors may be controlled using at least first and second horizontal scan line signals. Loading different data values into any given row in the array may cause the scan line signals to exhibit varying rise/fall times, which results in horizontal crosstalk and luminance non-uniformity across the display. The rise and fall times of the second scan line signal are crucial, so the second scan line signal is driven by two separate scan line drivers formed on both sides of the display. Only the fall time of the first scan line signal is crucial, so the first scan line signal is driven by only one peripheral scan line driver and is coupled to an auxiliary pull-down circuit that is only activated during the pull-down transition.

摘要: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for mitigating visual artifacts by dynamically tuning bias voltages applied to display pixels. An electronic display may include a display pixel and a bias voltage supply. The bias voltage supply may supply a first bias voltage to the display pixel for a first subframe of a frame of image data. The bias voltage supply may supply a different second bias voltage to the display pixel for a second subframe of the frame of image data. This may mitigate certain image artifacts, such as flicker or variable refresh rate luminance difference, that could arise due to display pixel hysteresis that varies across subframes of the image frame.

摘要: An electronic device comprises a display and a controller. The controller is configured to provide a first frequency refresh rate to the display. The controller is also configured to generate a control signal configured to control emission of a light emitting diode of a display pixel of the display at a second frequency based on whether the first frequency refresh rate of the display is less than a predetermined threshold value.

摘要: A display may have an array of pixels each of which has a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. A drive transistor and an emission transistor may be coupled in series with the light-emitting diode of each pixel between a positive power supply and a ground power supply. The pixels may include first and second switching transistors. A data storage capacitor may be coupled between a gate and source of the drive transistor in each pixel. Signal lines may be provided in columns of pixels to route signals such as data signals, sensed drive currents from the drive transistors, and predetermined voltages between display driver circuitry and the pixels. The switching transistors, emission transistors, and drive transistors may include semiconducting-oxide transistors and silicon transistors and may be n-channel transistors or p-channel transistors.

摘要: 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.

摘要: A display pixel is provided that is operable to support hybrid compensation scheme having both in-pixel threshold voltage canceling and external threshold voltage compensation. The display may include multiple p-type silicon transistors with at least one n-type semiconducting-oxide transistor and one storage capacitor. An on-bias stress phase may be performed prior to a threshold voltage sampling and data programming phase to mitigate hysteresis and improve first frame response. In low refresh rate displays, a first additional on-bias stress operation can be performed separate from the threshold voltage sampling and data programming phase during a refresh frame and a second additional on-bias stress operation can be performed during a vertical blanking frame. The display pixel may be configured to receive an initialization voltage and an anode reset voltage, either of which can be dynamically tuned to match the stress of the first and second additional on-bias stress operations to minimize flicker.
