Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided to reduce or eliminate mura artifacts on electronic displays 18. For example, pixels 102 may be programmed to a uniform gray level before all or a substantial number of gates 116 of the pixels 102 are activated. The voltages on some or all source lines 106 that supply the pixels 102 may be measured. A mura artifact may be seen when voltage differences on the source lines 106 are present. As such, operational parameters of the electronic display 18 may be adjusted to reduce or eliminate the mura artifact by reducing the voltage differences.

Abstract: A display may receive image data to be displayed for a user of an electronic device. Display driver circuitry in the display may analyze the data to detect static data. The image data may contain static frames of data or static portions of a frame of data. In response to detection of static data, the display driver circuitry can take actions to avoid display damage due to burn-in effects. The display driver circuitry may reduce a peak luminance value associated with a peak luminance control algorithm, may reduce display brightness, may map image data to reduced brightness levels, or may take other actions to ensure that display pixels in the display are not damaged. Temperature information may be used in determining how to classify information as static data and in determining how significantly to reduce display pixel drive currents in response to the detection of static image data.

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: 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.
