Abstract: One embodiment of an apparatus to control and sense a voltage through a single node can include a comparator to monitor single node voltage, a transistor to discharge voltage through the single node and control logic. The control logic can have at least two operational phases when actively controlling the voltage through the single node. In a first phase, the control logic can configure the comparator to determine if the single node voltage is greater than a reference voltage. In a second phase, the control logic can configure the transistor to discharge voltage through the single node when the comparator has previously indicated that the single node voltage is greater than a reference voltage. The control logic can alternatively execute first and second phases to discharge the voltage to a predetermined level.

Abstract: An electronic device includes processors that generate image data. The electronic device also includes an electronic display that displays the image data over a first frame duration by programming a first row of display pixels with the image data. The electronic display also displays the image data over the first frame duration by causing the first row of display pixels to emit light for an emission duration that is based at least in part on a first luminance of the image data. The electronic display further displays the image data over the first frame duration by resetting the first row of pixels before an end of the first frame duration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating whether a display panel 18 is of specified dimensions are provided. Such a system, for example, may include resistance detection circuitry 68 that detects a resistance of at least one resistive trace 20 disposed around a display panel 18 or other patterned device. Data processing circuitry 284 may determine, based at least in part on the detected resistance, whether the display panel 18 is of a specified size or whether the display panel 18 has specified dimensions, or a combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the system may determine whether a touch sensor panel (e.g., a single-sided indium tin oxide (SITO) or double-sided indium tin oxide (DITO) touch sensor panel), a flexible printed circuit (FPC), a printed circuit board (PCB), or any other suitable patterned device, is of a specified size or has specified dimensions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing parasitic capacitances within liquid crystal displays are provided. A display panel according to an embodiment may include, for example, a pixel (42) with a pixel electrode (50) and a transistor (48) coupled to a gate line (44).

The shielding conductor (76) may shield the pixel electrode (50) from a parasitic capacitance with the gate line (44) by causing a parasitic capacitance (78) to form between the gate line (44) and the shielding conductor (76) instead of between the gate line (44) and the pixel electrode (50).

Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or operating an electronic device that includes a display panel, which displays an image and includes a first panel section implemented with a lower pixel resolution and a second panel section implemented with a higher pixel resolution, an optical sensor disposed behind the first panel section of the display panel, and image processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the display panel. The image processing circuitry receives source image data corresponding with the image, in which the source image data is indicative of target luminance of a display pixel, determines a pixel resolution surrounding the display pixel, processes the source image based at least in part on the pixel resolution surrounding the display pixel to facilitate determining display image data corresponding with the display pixel, and outputs the display image data to enable the display panel to display the image based on the display image data.
