Abstract: A display system includes an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs), first and second driver chips, and one or more protection chips on a display substrate. The first and second driver chips are to drive a first group of LEDs of the array of LEDs and a second group of LEDs of the array of LEDs, respectively. Each protection chip includes one or more electro-static discharge (ESD) protection devices to assist with protecting the driver chips from damage caused by an ESD event. In one embodiment, each ESD protection device is connected between one or more signal lines, one or more power supply voltage lines, and an electrical ground line of the display substrate. In one embodiment, at least one protection chip comprises one or more electric overstress (EOS) protection devices to assist with protecting the driver chips from damage caused by an EOS event.

Abstract: Embodiments describe a display integration scheme in which an array of pixel driver chips embedded front side up in an insulator layer. A front side redistribution layer (RDL) spans across and is in electrical connection with the front sides of the array of pixel driver chips, and an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) is bonded to the front side RDL. The pixel driver chips may be located directly beneath the display area of the display panel.

Abstract: A display device may include pixels that display image data. The display device may also include a circuit that receives pixel data having a gray level for at least one pixel, such that the pixel data corresponds to a frame of the image data and the frame includes sub-frames. The pixel data causes the circuit to provide at least one current pulse to the at least one pixel according to a first order of the sub-frames. The circuit may also receive a second order of the sub-frames, such that the second order is mapped with respect to the first order, and at least one current pulse is provided to the at least one pixel according to the second order. As such, visual artifacts depicted on the display are reduced.

Abstract translation: 显示设备可以包括显示图像数据的像素。 显示装置还可以包括接收具有至少一个像素的灰度级的像素数据的电路，使得像素数据对应于图像数据的帧，并且帧包括子帧。 像素数据使电路根据子帧的第一顺序向至少一个像素提供至少一个电流脉冲。 该电路还可以接收第二顺序的子帧，使得第二顺序相对于第一顺序被映射，并且根据第二顺序向至少一个像素提供至少一个电流脉冲。 因此，显示屏上描绘的视觉伪影会减少。
