Abstract: External compensation of display panels may employ measurement or sensing circuitry configured to measure the output of a pixel and compensate for variations. Due to effects from the sensing circuitry, a mismatch between a target current and the actual current in the pixel may occur. Systems and methods that compensate for the effects from sensing circuitry and reduce or mitigate the mismatch are described. Systems and methods described herein include compensation circuitry that is capable of employing correction factors to compensate for the effects due to the presence of sensing circuitry. Methods for determining the correction factor are also described.

Abstract: A system may include a display panel that includes number of pixels that display image data on a display. The system may also include a circuit that measures a voltage associated with a light-emitting diode (LED) of a pixel of the number of pixels in response to the LED receiving a current. In addition to the circuit, the system may employ data processing circuitry that may generate a calibrated prediction model based at least in part on the voltage and the current, such that the calibrated prediction model predicts a change in voltage performance of the LED as the LED ages.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display having multiple regions of pixels. Each pixel includes a diode that emits light based on an amount of current through the diode and a transistor that controls the amount of current flowing through the diode. The electronic device includes driver-integrated circuitry that reduces hysteresis in a first transistor of a first pixel of a region of pixels, settles a threshold voltage of the first transistor, applies a test voltage to the first transistor, and senses a current across the first transistor. The electronic device includes processing circuitry that determines a predetermined voltage based on the current and a predetermined current-voltage relationship determined at an initial temperature, determines a voltage difference between the test voltage and the predetermined voltage, and applies the predetermined voltage and the voltage difference to a second transistor of a second pixel of the region of pixels.

Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display having multiple display pixels that display an image based on dithered image data. The electronic device may also include image processing circuitry that generates the dithered image data based on input image data and a threshold gray level that is greater than one. Generating the dithered image data may include replacing each gray level of the input image data that is less than the threshold gray level with either a zero gray level or the threshold gray level according to a dither pattern.

Abstract: Systems and methods for programming an electronic display in a double-row manner are provided. A system may include processing circuitry that generates image data and an electronic display that programs multiple rows of display pixels with different pixel data of the image data at the same time. This may allow double-row interlaced driving to reduce or eliminate image artifacts due to intra-frame pauses.

Abstract: An electronic display may include a touch sensing system configured to perform touch sensing in an active area of the electronic display and display driver circuitry configured to program display pixels of the active area to emit light. The electronic display may also include the active area. The active area may include a first portion and a second portion that are at least partially electrically separated. The display driver circuitry may program the display pixels in the first portion while the touch sensing circuitry may perform touch sensing in the second portion.

Abstract: Embodiments presented herein relate to reducing visual artifacts on an electronic display caused by an intra-frame pause. To do so, the intra-frame pause may be divided into smaller intra-frame pause segments. The intra-frame pause segments may be applied to the display during different image frames and/or at different locations on the electronic display. For example, each intra-frame pause segment may be applied to a different location on the electronic display. In some embodiments, multiple intra-frame pause segments may be applied during a single image frame. In some embodiments, the intra-frame pause segments may be applied to various image frames and at various location on the electronic display according to a pattern. To reduce band flickering that may be caused by the different locations of the intra-frame pause segments, an emission duty of one or more rows of pixels of the display may be adjusted.
