  • Publication number: 20240038154
    Abstract: An electronic device may include processing circuitry configured to generate a first frame of image content and a second frame of image content. The second frame of image content is different from the first frame of image content. The electronic device may also include a display configured to display the first frame of image content at a first refresh rate. In response to receiving the second frame of image content, the electronic device may initially increase the refresh rate before tapering back to the first refresh rate while displaying the second frame of image content.

  • Publication number: 20240013692
    Abstract: To reduce overall power consumption for an electronic display power management integrated circuit (PMIC), one of multiple electric power converters and/or electric power regulators may be selected based on an electrical load (e.g., due to the total brightness of the content displayed) on the electronic display at a given moment. In some embodiments, the PMIC may include a less efficient heavy load converter designed with high-current handling capability and a more efficient light load (e.g., low current) converter with lower current handling capability. A controller may dynamically select between the converters depending on a present load or an expected load on the electronic display.

  • Publication number: 20230352497
    Abstract: A display may have one or more bent portions. To increase the magnitude of curvature in a display and/or to allow for compound curvature in the display, a display panel may be partially formed in a planar state. The partial display panel is then bent to have desired curvature. After the partial display panel is bent, additional display components that are susceptible to damage during the bending process may be added to complete the display panel. A flexible printed circuit may be formed directly on the display panel using precise deposition of conductive material. By forming the flexible printed circuit layer-by-layer directly on the display panel, no substantive pressure needs to be applied to the display panel. Electrical connections may therefore be made to the display panel in regions of the display with high levels of curvature and/or with compound curvature without causing front-of-screen artifacts for the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20230343914
    Abstract: Conductive traces may be conformally wrapped around the side of a display panel that includes an array of display pixels. The conductive traces may electrically connect contacts on an upper surface of the display panel to corresponding contacts on a flexible printed circuit that is attached to a lower surface of the display panel. The side-wrapped conductive traces may be interposed between first and second insulating layers. The flexible printed circuit may have a multi-step interface that is electrically connected to the side-wrapped conductive traces. A system-in-package including a display driver integrated circuit may be mounted to the flexible printed circuit. The system-in-package may include a plurality of redistribution layers that electrically connect contacts on the display driver integrated circuit to contacts on the flexible printed circuit.

  • Publication number: 20230197020
    Abstract: This disclosure provide various techniques for tracking emission profiles on an electronic display. An emission profile may be applied to the electronic display in order to illuminate certain pixels and deactivate (e.g., turn off) certain pixels in the electronic display to facilitate refreshing (e.g., programming with new image data) the deactivated pixels. A real-time row-based average pixel level or average pixel luminance calculation architecture may track the one or more EM profiles to accurately model EM profile behavior, which may enable accurate calculation of the average pixel level or average pixel luminance of the electronic display at any one point in time. The accurate average pixel level or average pixel luminance calculations effectuated by the EM profile tracking may be used to reduce the IR drop, improve real-time peak-luminance control, and improve the performance of under-display sensors, among other advantages.

  • Patent number: 11599145
    Abstract: An electronic device display may have pixels formed from crystalline semiconductor light-emitting diode dies, organic light-emitting diodes, or other pixel structures. The pixels may be formed in a display panel having a single substrate or an array of display panel tiles. The display panel has inwardly facing display panel contacts that mate with corresponding outwardly facing interconnect substrate contacts on an interconnect substrate. The interconnect substrate may have areas with compound curvature that are overlapped by the display panel. To enhance flexibility of the interconnect substrate, the interconnect substrate may have flexibility enhancement openings and/or may be formed from a material with a low elastic modulus such as silicone or other elastomeric material.

  • Patent number: 10665157
    Abstract: Systems and methods reduce likelihood of hysteresis that reduces perceived image quality of a subsequent image frame by toggling the display pixels to relax the display pixels by overwriting previous image frame data. During non-emission periods of the pixels, the pixels may be pre-toggled or exercised to improve response time and accuracy of the pixel. Data for pixels being programmed may also be used to pre-toggle other pixels reducing overhead but increasing cross-talk. Since the amount of cross-talk is related to content of the pixels being pre-toggled, a line buffer may be used to store image data for the pixels being pre-toggled. This stored image data may be used to determine how much pre-compensation is to be applied to data for the pixels being programmed. In other words, an amount of compensation applied is based at least in part on the content (e.g., greyscale levels) of the image data.

  • Publication number: 20190068002
    Abstract: A wireless power system may have a wireless power transmitting device and a wireless power receiving device. The wireless power receiving device may have a display that operates at a frame rate. The wireless power transmitting device may transmit wireless power signals to the wireless power receiving device at an initial frequency. In response to receiving the wireless power signals or in response to a request sent by the wireless power transmitting device, the wireless power receiving device transmits information on the frame rate to the wireless power transmitting device. The wireless power transmitting device uses the initial frequency and the frame rate in determining a safe frequency to use in transmitting wireless signals to avoid or at least reduce interference with the display. The wireless power transmitting device then adjusts the wireless power transmission frequency from the initial frequency to the safe frequency.
