    摘要: A display may include pixels (such as light-emitting diode pixels) that are susceptible aging effects (burn-in). To help avoid visible artifacts caused by burn-in during operation of the display, compensation circuitry may be used to compensate image data for the display. An optical sensor may be included behind the pixels to directly measure pixel brightness levels. The optical sensor may provide optical sensor data from testing operations to the compensation circuitry. The optical sensor may gather data during burn-in testing operations. During the burn-in testing operations, pixel groups including both high-usage pixels and low-usage pixels may sequentially emit light while the optical sensor gathers data. Brightness differences between the high-usage pixels and low-usage pixels may be used to characterize pixel aging in the display and compensate image data to mitigate visible artifacts caused by burn-in. The optical sensor may also gather data during global brightness testing operations.

    摘要: An electronic device such as a wristwatch device or other device may have a display. The display may be used to continuously display information such as watch face information. A watch face image on the display may contain watch face elements such as watch face hands, watch face indices, and complications. To reduce burn-in risk for watch face elements, control circuitry in the electronic device may impose burn-in constraints on attributes of the watch face elements such as peak luminance constraints, dwell time constraints, color constraints, constraints on the shape of each element, and constraints on element style. These constraints may help avoid situations in which static elements such as watch face indices create more burn-in than dynamic elements such as watch face hands.

    摘要: An electronic device may include an electronic display and a display pipeline. The electronic display may include multiple pixels to display images based at least in part on pixel data. The display pipeline may receive image data and process the image data to determine the pixel data. The display pipeline may include burn-in compensation circuitry to apply gains to the image data based at least in part on burn-in statistics to generate the pixel data. The gain to be applied to the image data for a pixel of the electronic display is determined by the burn-in compensation circuitry, based at least in part on an emission duty cycle of the pixel, to compensate the image data for the pixel for burn-in related aging of the pixel.
