    Abstract: A display system may include a memory external to a pixel that stores a first digital data value, a memory internal to the pixel that stores a second digital data signal, where a combination of the first digital data signal and the second digital data signal may indicate a target gray level assigned to the pixel for a particular image frame. The pixel may be driven for a first duration of time according to the first digital data signal and for a second duration of time according to the second digital data signal.

    Abstract: An electronic display may include a pixel circuit. The pixel circuit may include memory storage to store data values representative of image data to be depicted via the pixel circuit. The memory storage may also include memory components for storing bits of the data value. The pixel circuit may also include a light-emitting device for emitting light based at least in part on the data value and a controller. The controller may receive the data value and store the bits based on a mapping between the bits and the memory components. The mapping may be determined based on routing one or more of the bits associated with one or more defective memory components of the memory components to one or more other memory components of the memory components. The controller may also drive the light-emitting device to emit light based on the bits stored in accordance with the mapping.

    Abstract: Efficiently transmitting image data to an electronic display may be provided by skipping regions of the electronic display that display a default value. The electronic display may include a number of pixels, a row driver, and a data driver. The row driver may activate a first subset of the pixels for programming. The data driver may program a default pixel value to respective pixels of the first subset of the pixels for which image data has not been received and may program image data to respective pixels of the first subset of the pixels for which image data has been received.
