Abstract: Systems and methods are described here to compensate for crosstalk (e.g., coupling distortions) that may be caused by a fanout overlaid or otherwise affecting signals transmitted within an active area of an electronic display. The systems and methods may be based on buffered previous image data. Technical effects associated with compensating for the crosstalk may include improved display of image frames since some image artifacts are mitigated and/or made unperceivable or eliminated.
