Patent number: 10186190Abstract: A method and system of compensating for localized phenomena in a display is disclosed. The display includes an array of pixels and a control system for adjusting content data signals for the array of pixels to compensate for aging of the pixels in the array. The control system measures a parameter of at least one of the pixels in the array via a read input of the at least one of the pixels. The controller determines the effect of the localized phenomena on the pixel using the parameter. A characteristic is measured for at least one of the pixels in the array via the read input of the at least one of the pixels.
