    Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure An electronic device may include a display having an array of display pixels and having display control circuitry that controls the operation of the display. The display control circuitry may adaptively adjust the display 5 output based on ambient lighting conditions. For example, in cooler ambient lighting conditions such as those dominated by daylight, the display may display neutral colors using a relatively cool white. When the display is operated in warmer ambient lighting conditions such as those 10 dominated by indoor light sources, the display may display neutral colors using a relatively warm white. Adapting to the ambient lighting conditions may ensure that the user does not perceive color shifts on the display as the user's vision chromatically adapts to different ambient lighting 15 conditions. Adaptively adjusting images in this way can also have beneficial effects on the human circadian rhythm by displaying warmer colors in the evening.

    Abstract: Displays such as organic light-emitting diode displays may be provided with touch sensing capabilities. A touch sensor (14) may be formed from electrodes (44) located on a thin-film encapsulation layer (84) or one or more sides of a polarizer. A single-sided or double-sided touch sensor panel may be attached to the upper or lower surface of a polarizer. Control circuitry (36) may be used to provide control signals to light-emitting diodes (50) in the display using a grid of control lines. The control lines and transparent electrode structures such as indium tin oxide structures formed on a thin-film encapsulation layer (84) or polarizer may be used as electrodes for a touch sensor. Displays (14) may have active regions (A) and inactive peripheral portions (IR). The displays (14) may have edge portions that are bent along a bend axis (122) that is within the active region (A) to form a borderless display. Virtual buttons (VB) may be formed on the bent edge portions.

    Abstract: An edge-lit backlight unit for a display is provided. In one embodiment, the backlight unit may include a light guide configured to receive light from a source and emit such light in a broad distribution to a turning film disposed over the light guide. The turning film may be configured to redirect light received from the light guide toward a normal of the turning film. In one embodiment, the light guide may be configured such that peak light distribution therefrom occurs at an incident angle of approximately sixty degrees, with broad light distribution substantially occurring over an angular range between incident angles of thirty-five and eighty-five degrees. Additionally, in one embodiment, the turning film may include multiple prisms that receive and redirect the light emitted from the light guide, and that include apex angles of less than or about sixty degrees. Additional edge-lit backlight units and methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are liquid-crystal display (LCD) touch screens that integrate the touch sensing elements with the display circuitry. The integration may take a variety of forms. Touch sensing elements can be completely implemented within the LCD stackup but outside the not between the color filter plate and the array plate. Alternatively, some touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates with other touch sensing elements not between the plates. In another alternative, all touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates. The latter alternative can include both conventional and in-plane- switching (IPS) LCDs. In some forms, one or more display structures can also have a touch sensing function. Techniques for manufacturing and operating such displays, as well as various devices embodying such displays are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Hier werden Flüssigkristallanzeige- (LCD) Berührungsbildschirme offenbart, bei denen die Berührungssensorelemente mit den Anzeigeschaltungen integriert sind. Die Integration kann eine Vielfalt von Formen annehmen. Die Berührungssensorelemente können vollständig innerhalb des LCD-Stapelaufbaus aber nicht zwischen der Farbfilterplatte und der Feldplatte implementiert sein. Alternativ können einige Berührungssensorelemente zwischen den Farbfilter- und Feldplatten angeordnet sein, wobei andere Berührungssensorelemente nicht zwischen den Platten liegen. In einer anderen Alternative können alle Berührungssensorelemente zwischen den Farbfilter- und Feldplatten liegen. Die letzte Alternative kann sowohl konventionelle als auch in einer Ebene schaltende (IPS) LCDs umfassen. In einigen Formen können Anzeigestrukturen auch eine Berührungsmessfunktion aufweisen. Techniken zur Herstellung und zum Betrieb solcher Anzeigen sowie verschiedene solche Anzeigen aufweisende Vorrichtungen sind ebenfalls offenbart.
