    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for compensating an image to be shown on a display including an array of light-emitting pixels and a sensor arranged to receive light transmitted by adjacent light-emitting pixels. A method includes collecting, from the sensor, a luminance of light received by the sensor during an emission-on period, and a luminance of light received by the sensor during an emission-off period. The method includes calculating, by comparing the luminance during the emission-on period to the luminance during the emission-off period, a luminance of light internally reflected from the adjacent pixels and received by the sensor during the emission-on period. The method includes determining that an error between the luminance of light internally reflected and a reference luminance equals or exceeds a threshold error, and adjusting a driving voltage for driving the pixels to reduce the error.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for a display with discrete gate-in-panel circuitry. In some implementations, a display includes an array of emissive pixels arranged in rows and columns, where the array includes a first continuous area having a first pixel density and a second continuous area having a second pixel density less than the first pixel density, and consecutive rows of the emissive pixels extending between the first and second continuous areas. The display also includes gate in panel (GIP) circuits in the second continuous area, a data lines connected to the array of emissive pixels, and signal lines connected to the array of emissive pixels.

    Abstract: A method includes displaying an image on an organic light-emitting (OLED) display panel that includes a first display area having a first pixel density and a second display area having a second pixel density lower than the first pixel density, and while displaying the image, deactivating individual pixels in the first display area corresponding to a proximity of the individual pixels to the second display area such that a region of the first display area adjacent the second display area has a virtual pixel density between the first pixel density and the second pixel density.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for dual color management for a multi-pixel density display. In one aspect, the method includes obtaining an image to be shown on a display, where the display includes both a first area that has a first pixel density and a second area that has a second pixel density that is less than the first pixel density, determining that a pixel with an initial value in the image will be displayed in the first area of the display (120), in response to determining that a pixel with the initial value in the image will be displayed in the first area of the display, determining a remapped value for the pixel in the image based on the initial value and a lookup table for the first area (130), and providing the remapped value for output on the display (150).

    Abstract: A frame generation subsystem renders a sequence of frames and a display control subsystem provides a brightness control signal configured to control a brightness of frames displayed at a display panel via pulse width modulation (PWM) of the brightness control signal and determines a deviation in a duty cycle of a first PWM period of the brightness control signal from a default duty cycle resulting from a delayed rendering of a frame. The display control subsystem adjusts a duty cycle of at least a second PWM period to compensate for the deviation in the duty cycle of the first PWM period. The resulting average duty cycle of the brightness control signal over the two frame periods is approximately equal to a default duty cycle and thereby mitigates viewable flicker resulting from the duty cycle change caused by the delayed rendering.
