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:
An electronic device display may have pixels formed from crystalline semiconductor light-emitting diode dies, organic light-emitting diodes, or other pixel structures. The pixels may be formed on a display panel substrate. A display panel may extend continuously across the display or multiple display panels may be tiled in two dimensions to cover a larger display area. Interconnect substrates may have outwardly facing contacts that are electrically shorted to corresponding inwardly facing contacts such as inwardly facing metal pillars associated with the display panels. The interconnect substrates may be supported by glass layers. Integrated circuits may be embedded in the display panels and/or in the interconnect substrates. A display may have an active area with pixels that includes non-spline pixels in a non-spline display portion located above a straight edge of the display and spline pixel in a spline display portion located above a curved edge of the display.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for reducing power consumption of a display link by compacting image data to allow the display link to be deactivated for a longer duration. For instance, pixels that correspond to a preset or default value for a display may be omitted from pixel data sent over the display link. Additionally or alternatively, the display link may be divided into multiple lanes that function independently so that a lane of the display link may be deactivated while other lanes are actively transmitting image data.
Abstract:
Hybrid architectures and method methods of operating a display panel are described. In an embodiment, row driver and pixel driver functions are combined in a group of backbone hybrid pixel driver chips, wherein global signal lines are distributed to the backbone hybrid pixel driver chips, where the global signals are manipulated and distributed to a row of pixel driver chips.
Abstract:
Local passive matrix displays and methods of operation are described. In an embodiment, the display includes a pixel driver chip coupled with a matrix of rows and columns of LEDs. The pixel driver chips may be arranged in rows across the display with separate portions to operate separate matrices of LEDs.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices are provided to calibrate an electronic display (18) to reduce or eliminate mura artifacts. Such mura artifacts may be due to differential behavior of multiple common voltage layers (VCOMs) (132) of the display (18). One method for reducing or eliminating such muras may involve setting pixels (110) of an electronic display (18) to a gray level and setting an operating parameter of the liquid crystal display (18) to a starting value. An image of the pixels (110) may be captured. Using the image, an average luminance of the pixels (110) may be determined and the image may be amplified around the average luminance to enhance contrast of the image. When the amplified image substantially does not indicates the presence of a mura, the value of the operating parameter may be stored in the electronic display (18).
Abstract:
Design criteria of display screens is provided that can be used in combination with particular inversion schemes and scanning orders of the display screens to reduce or eliminate visual artifacts that can be caused by the effects of capacitive coupling of voltage changes in one part of the display into other parts of the display. Using particular combinations of inversion schemes and scanning orders, together with particular design criteria for the display screen, can allow one type of effect, e.g., an increase or decrease in a brightness of a display pixel, caused by one type of coupling effect, such as a coupling between data lines, can be offset by the effect caused by another type of coupling effect, such as a coupling between pixel electrodes.
Abstract:
An integrated touchscreen can include light emitting diodes or organic light emitting diodes (LEDs/OLEDs), display chiplets and touch chiplets disposed in a visible area of the integrated touch screen. For example, the LEDs/OLEDs, display chiplets and touch chiplets can be placed on a substrate by a micro-transfer tool. The integrated touchscreen can also include electrodes disposed in the visible area of the integrated touch screen. The electrodes can be capable of providing display functionality via the one or more display chiplets during display operation (e.g., operating as cathode terminals of the LEDs during the display operation) and capable of providing touch functionality via the touch chiplets during touch operation (e.g., touch node electrodes can be formed from groups of the electrodes and sensed). In some examples, the touch node electrodes can be formed and coupled to touch chiplets via the display chiplets.

Abstract:
Methods and devices for improving image quality in a display (18) having multiple common voltage layers (VCOMs) (130-142) are provided. In one example, a method may include maintaining a deactivation signal on pixels (102) of the display (18) after programming a frame of data onto the pixels (102) of the display (18), but before a touch sequence. The method may also include supplying a first data signal to each pixel (102) of a first set of pixels coupled to a first VCOM while maintaining the deactivation signal. The method may include supplying a second data signal to each pixel (102) of a second set of pixels coupled to a second VCOM while supplying the first data signal. The first data signal is supplied to each pixel (102) of the first set of pixels and the second data signal is supplied to each pixel (102) of the second set of pixels to inhibit image distortion during the touch sequence.
