    Abstract: A display may have curved edges such as rounded corners. Pixels in the display may be controlled so that the active area of the display has the desired curved edge shape. In order to maximize the apparent smoothness of the curved edge, the display may include circuitry that dims some of the pixels based on their location relative to a spline for the curved edge. The display circuitry may include a multiplication circuit that receives image data as a first input and dimming factors from a gain table as a second input. The image data may include a brightness level for each pixel in the array of pixels. The multiplication circuit may multiply the brightness level for each pixel by its respective dimming factor. This modified image data may then be supplied to the imaging pixels using display driver circuitry.

    显示屏可能有弯曲的边缘,如圆角。 可以控制显示器中的像素,使得显示器的有效区域具有期望的弯曲边缘形状。 为了最大化弯曲边缘的表观平滑度,显示器可以包括基于其相对于弯曲边缘的样条的位置来调暗一些像素的电路。 显示电路可以包括乘法电路,其接收作为第一输入的图像数据和来自增益表的调光因子作为第二输入。 图像数据可以包括像素阵列中的每个像素的亮度级别。 乘法电路可以将每个像素的亮度等级乘以其各自的调光因子。 然后可以使用显示驱动器电路将该修改的图像数据提供给成像像素。

    Abstract: Methods and devices employing circuitry for dynamically adjusting bandwidth control of a display interface are provided. The display interface or image content is dynamically adjusted to support both high-speed image data (e.g., 120 Hz image data) and lower-speed content (e.g., 60 Hz content). For example, in some embodiments, additional pixel pipelines and/or processing lanes may be activated during the rendering of high-speed image data, but not during the rendering of low-speed image data. Additionally or alternatively, high-speed image data, but not low-speed data, may be compressed to render high-speed content over an interface that supports only low-speed content.

    Abstract: This application relates to methods and apparatus for refreshing a display device at various frequencies. Specifically, multiple areas of the display device can be refreshed concurrently at different frequencies. In this way, when static content is being displayed in certain areas of the display device, those certain areas can be refreshed at a lower rate than areas displaying dynamic content such as video or animation. By refreshing at lower rates, the energy consumed by the display device and subsystems associated with the display device can be reduced. Additionally, processes for reducing flicker when refreshing the display device at different refresh rates are disclosed herein.

    Abstract translation: 本申请涉及用于以各种频率刷新显示设备的方法和装置。 具体而言,显示装置的多个区域可以以不同的频率同时刷新。 以这种方式,当显示设备的某些区域中显示静态内容时,可以以比显示动态内容(例如视频或动画)的区域更低的速率刷新那些特定区域。 通过以较低的速率刷新,可以减少与显示装置相关联的显示装置和子系统消耗的能量。 另外,本文公开了在以不同刷新率刷新显示设备时减少闪烁的处理。

    Abstract: The disclosure describes procedures for dynamically employing a variable refresh rate at an LCD display of a consumer electronic device, such as a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, or a music player device. In some configurations, the consumer electronic device can include a host system portion, having one or more processors and a display system portion, having a timing controller, a buffer circuit, a display driver, and a display panel. The display system can receive image data and image control data from a GPU of the host system, evaluate the received image control data to determine a reduced refresh rate (RRR) for employing at the display panel, and then transition to the RRR, whenever practicable, to conserve power. In some scenarios, the transition to the RRR can be a transition from a LRR of 50 hertz or above to a RRR of 40 hertz or below.
