  • Publication number: 20240128274
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a display having an array of display pixels on a substrate. The display pixels may be organic light-emitting diode display pixels or display pixels in a liquid crystal display. In an organic light-emitting diode display, hybrid thin-film transistor structures may be formed that include semiconducting oxide thin-film transistors, silicon thin-film transistors, and capacitor structures. The capacitor structures may overlap the semiconducting oxide thin-film transistors. Organic light-emitting diode display pixels may have combinations of oxide and silicon transistors. In a liquid crystal display, display driver circuitry may include silicon thin-film transistor circuitry and display pixels may be based on oxide thin-film transistors. A single layer or two different layers of gate metal may be used in forming silicon transistor gates and oxide transistor gates. A silicon transistor may have a gate that overlaps a floating gate structure.

  • Publication number: 20240096268
    Abstract: A digital display includes a plurality of pixel rows. For each pixel row, the digital display includes an EM gate driver configured to supply the pixel row with a luminance-controlling signal during each of a plurality of image frames. A luminance controller is configured to instruct the EM gate drivers to supply a pulse-width modulated signal to the plurality of pixel rows. Some pixel rows are supplied with a pulse-width modulated signal starting with an on pulse, and some pixel rows are supplied with a pulse-width modulated signal starting with an off pulse, on the same or different image frames.

  • Patent number: 11830401
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed herein that relate to displaying modification regions on a multi-display device. One example provides a multi-display device comprising a plurality of displays, the multi-display device storing line offset data defining a line offset to apply to a displayed image to correct for display misalignment, and modification region data defining one or more modification regions that each modifies an appearance of the displayed image. The multi-display device is configured to set a displayed location of a first active area based upon the line offset data for a first display, and set a displayed location of a first modification region for the first display based upon the line offset data for the first display.

  • Publication number: 20230260452
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a display and a controller. The controller is configured to provide a first frequency refresh rate to the display. The controller is also configured to generate a control signal configured to control emission of a light emitting diode of a display pixel of the display at a second frequency based on whether the first frequency refresh rate of the display is less than a predetermined threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20230247867
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display may have thin-film transistor circuitry formed on a substrate. The display and substrate may have rounded corners. A pixel definition layer may be formed on the thin-film transistor circuitry. Openings in the pixel definition layer may be provided with emissive material overlapping respective anodes for organic light-emitting diodes. A cathode layer may cover the array of pixels. A ground power supply path may be used to distribute a ground voltage to the cathode layer. The ground power supply path may be formed from a metal layer that is shorted to the cathode layer using portions of a metal layer that forms anodes for the diodes, may be formed from a mesh shaped metal pattern, may have L-shaped path segments, may include laser-deposited metal on the cathode layer, and may have other structures that facilitate distribution of the ground power supply.
