Abstract: Hybrid architectures and method methods of operating a display panel are described. In an embodiment, row driver and pixel driver functions are combined in a group of backbone hybrid pixel driver chips, wherein global signal lines are distributed to the backbone hybrid pixel driver chips, where the global signals are manipulated and distributed to a row of pixel driver chips.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a display, a display driver integrated circuit for controlling the display, and a system processor for running one or more applications on the electronic device. The display may be operated in at least a video mode and a command mode. In the video mode, the system processor operates as the primary timing circuit while the display driver integrated circuit operates as the secondary timing circuit. In the command mode, the display driver integrate circuit operates as the primary timing circuit while the system processor operates as the secondary timing circuit. The system processor may be configured to switch between video mode and the command mode without turning off the electronic device and without turning off the display driver integrated circuit. If desired, the display can be temporarily turned off during a mode switching event to hide potential front of screen artifacts.

Abstract: A display device 18 may include a plurality of pixels 80 that may display image data on a display 18. The display device 18 may also include a circuit 78 that may receive pixel data including a gray level for at least one pixel of the plurality of pixels 80. The circuit 78 may then receive an emission clock signal using a clock circuit based on the pixel data, such that the emission clock signal may cause the at least one pixel 80 to receive a current for an amount of time based on the gray level. The circuit 78 may then gate off the clock circuit after the amount of time.

Abstract: An electronic display includes an active area including multiple pixels. The electronic display also includes a first row driver set including a first column of row drivers and a second column of row drivers. A first active row driver in the first column of row drivers drives a first portion of the multiple pixels, and a first spare row driver in the second column of row drivers is in an inactive state. The electronic display also includes a second row driver set including a third column of row drivers and a fourth column of row drivers. A third active row driver in the third column of row drivers drives a second portion of the multiple pixels, and a second spare row driver in the fourth column of row drivers is inactive.
