Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for electrical testing to supplement or replace optical testing of an electronic display. Internal testing circuitry that includes analog front end (AFE) and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuitry may be included in the electronic display and may be used either alone or in combination with other testing devices to perform electrical characterization and defect screening. The electrical characterization and defect screening may be performed before or after self-emissive elements such as light-emitting diodes are installed, further improving yield. Types of electrical characterization and defect screening may include a partial passive mode electrical characterization of OLEDs, vertical or horizontal crosstalk measurement, scan line integrity testing, pixel bright dot testing, display pixel defect detection, and delayed defect detection for defects that may occur after some extended period of time (e.g., after several minutes, after several hours).

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display having an active array and a reference array. The active array includes a pixel and the reference array includes a reference pixel. The electronic device also includes processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the display. The processing circuitry is configured to instruct the active array to drive the pixel based at least in part on a set of degradation ratios and gamma tap points for each brightness setting of the display based at least in part on a reconstructed current-voltage curve.

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.
