    Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or operating an electronic device that includes a display panel, which displays an image and includes a first panel section implemented with a lower pixel resolution and a second panel section implemented with a higher pixel resolution, an optical sensor disposed behind the first panel section of the display panel, and image processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the display panel. The image processing circuitry receives source image data corresponding with the image, in which the source image data is indicative of target luminance of a display pixel, determines a pixel resolution surrounding the display pixel, processes the source image based at least in part on the pixel resolution surrounding the display pixel to facilitate determining display image data corresponding with the display pixel, and outputs the display image data to enable the display panel to display the image based on the display image data.

    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided to overdrive or underdrive a display panel to account for display pixel hysteresis due to several frames of pixel history. An electronic device may include an electronic display and processing circuitry. The electronic display includes a number of display pixels. The processing circuitry may generate image data for the display pixels. The processing circuitry may receive a current frame value of the image data targeted for a first display pixel and, based at least in part on the current frame value and a pixel history of the first display pixel—may indicate a gray level for a number of previous frames—generate a compensated value by which to drive the first pixel to overcome pixel hysteresis to reach the desired luminance at an initial response.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include a display and an optical sensor formed underneath the display. The electronic device may include a plurality of transparent windows that overlap the optical sensor. The resolution of the display panel may be reduced in some areas due to the presence of the transparent windows. To prevent a visible border between the reduced resolution areas of the display and full resolution areas of the display, uniformity compensation circuitry may be used to compensate pixel data. The uniformity compensation circuitry may output compensated pixel data for the display using one or more compensation maps that include compensation factors associated with pixel locations. The uniformity compensation circuitry may also use region-specific gamma look-up tables to apply different gamma curves to pixels in different regions of the display. The uniformity compensation circuitry may also be used to form a transition region between different regions of the display.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include a display. Control circuitry may operate the display at different frame rates such as 60 Hz, 80 Hz, and 120 Hz. The control circuitry may determine which frame rate to use based on a speed of animation on the display and based on a type of animation on the display. To mitigate the appearance of judder as the display frame rate changes, the control circuitry may implement techniques such as hysteresis (e.g., windows of tolerance around speed thresholds to ensure that the display frame rate does not change too frequently as a result of noise), speed thresholds that are based on a user perception study, consistent latency between touch input detection and corresponding display output across different frame rates (e.g., using a fixed touch scan rate that is independent of frame duration), and animation-specific speed thresholds for triggering frame rate changes.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display having multiple pixels to display an image based on processed image data. Each of the pixels may include multiple sub-pixels. The electronic device may also include image processing circuitry to receive input image data, in a first color space, having luminance values for each of the sub-pixels. The circuitry may also map the input image data from the first color space to a second color space and apply a multi-dimensional lookup table, based on the input image data in the second color space, to generate compensated image data. The lookup table may receive the luminance values for each of the sub-pixels and output corrected luminance values compensated for an expected amount of current leakage between the sub-pixels. The circuitry may also inversely map the compensated image data from the second color space to the first color space to generate the processed image data.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display having multiple pixels to display an image based on processed image data. Each of the pixels may include multiple sub-pixels. The electronic device may also include image processing circuitry to receive first image data for a sub-pixel of the and second image data for a group of sub-pixels surrounding the sub-pixel. The first image data may include a luminance value for the sub-pixel and the second image data may include luminance values for each sub-pixel of the group. The image processing circuitry may also determine a compensation value, to compensate the luminance value for lateral current leakage between the sub-pixel and the group of sub-pixels, based on the luminance value of the sub-pixel and the luminance values for each sub-pixel of the group of sub-pixels.
