    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses relating to controlling an emission of a display panel. In one embodiment, a display driver hardware circuit includes row selection logic to select a number of rows in an emission group of a display panel, wherein the number of rows is adjustable from a single row to a full panel of the display panel, column selection logic to select a number of columns in the emission group of the display panel, wherein the number of columns is adjustable from a single column to the full panel of the display panel, and emission logic to select a number of pulses per data frame to be displayed, wherein the number of pulses per data frame is adjustable from one to a plurality and a pulse length is adjustable from a continuous duty cycle to a non-continuous duty cycle.

    Abstract: A display system includes an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs), first and second driver chips, and one or more protection chips on a display substrate. The first and second driver chips are to drive a first group of LEDs of the array of LEDs and a second group of LEDs of the array of LEDs, respectively. Each protection chip includes one or more electro-static discharge (ESD) protection devices to assist with protecting the driver chips from damage caused by an ESD event. In one embodiment, each ESD protection device is connected between one or more signal lines, one or more power supply voltage lines, and an electrical ground line of the display substrate. In one embodiment, at least one protection chip comprises one or more electric overstress (EOS) protection devices to assist with protecting the driver chips from damage caused by an EOS event.

    Abstract translation: 显示系统包括发光二极管(LED)阵列,第一和第二驱动器芯片以及显示基板上的一个或多个保护芯片。 第一和第二驱动器芯片分别驱动LED阵列的第一组LED和LED阵列的第二组LED。 每个保护芯片包括一个或多个静电放电(ESD)保护装置,以帮助保护驱动器芯片免受ESD事件引起的损坏。 在一个实施例中,每个ESD保护装置连接在一个或多个信号线,一个或多个电源电压线和显示基板的电接地线之间。 在一个实施例中,至少一个保护芯片包括一个或多个电过载(EOS)保护装置,以帮助保护驱动器芯片免受由EOS事件引起的损坏。
