Abstract: Large sized electronic displays may include a backlight that generates light to illuminate a display panel. The backlight is divided into tiles that each includes a set of backlight elements that are driven by respective tile driver circuitry. Based on receiving brightness data and/or control signals from a backlight controller (BCON) of the backlight, the respective tile driver circuitry drives corresponding backlight elements such that the backlight elements suitably illuminate the display panel.

Abstract: An apparatus for on flex desensing, includes a flex circuit including one or more DC traces, and at least one desense filter including a transformer having a primary winding coupled to at least one of the DC traces. Each desense filter includes one or more circuits coupled to a secondary winding of the transformer. Each of the circuits includes a variable capacitor connected in parallel with a resistor, and each desense filter is tunable to filter a desense frequency in a frequency band associated with one or more wireless communication protocols.

Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated with backlight illumination from a direct-lit backlight unit. The backlight unit may include an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on a printed circuit board. The display may have a notch to accommodate an input-output component. Reflective layers may be included in the notch. The backlight may include a color conversion layer with a property that varies as a function of position. The light-emitting diodes may be covered by a slab of encapsulant with recesses in an upper surface.
