Abstract: A touch screen may be formed from a display and perimeter touch electrodes. Touches detected at one or more of the perimeter touch electrodes can be imputed to touch on a region of the display of the touch screen adjacent to the perimeter touch electrodes. In some examples, the perimeter touch electrodes comprise segmented frit metal arranged around the perimeter of the display (e.g., frit metal used to encapsulate the display). In some examples, the perimeter touch electrodes can be coupled to one or more touch sensing circuits via switching circuitry. In some examples, the switching circuitry can be operated based on control signals shared with the display circuitry.

Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display having a gate-on-array (GOA) that generates gate signals in response to an activation signal, pixels that activate in response to a combination of the gate signals and data signals indicative of image data, and sensing circuitry. The sensing circuitry may measure a characteristic response of a gate signal a characteristic response of one or more pixels, or both and compare the characteristic responses to baselines. The electronic device may also include compensation circuitry that applies a compensation to the activation signal and/or to the image data based on the comparisons between the characteristic responses and the baselines.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) display can calculate a common voltage charge of a line of pixels in the LED display, the common voltage charge comprising a difference between a first line of pixels and a second line of pixels. If the calculated common voltage charge exceeds a predetermined threshold, a toggle matrix can be generated for the line of pixels. The toggle matrix can include a matrix of charge values generated by calculating a difference in charge values for each subpixel a first line of subpixels with each subpixel a second line of subpixels. The LED display can identify one or more regions of subpixels exhibiting the predetermined toggle pattern in the toggle matrix. The LED display can generate a voltage correction charge to apply to affected regions of the display. Alternatively, the subpixels or pixels could be swapped with adjacent pixels to reduce toggling or settling error.

The display also includes a common voltage (VCOM) driving circuit configured to receive a waveform and drive the waveform to the display as a VCOM having a value tailored to an individually activated pixel of the group of pixels.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a display. The display may include display driver circuitry that is configured to provide image data to columns of pixels and gate driver circuitry that is configured to provide control signals to rows of pixels. The display may be operable at a native refresh rate that is equal to the highest refresh rate at which the display has full resolution. The display may also be operable in a high refresh rate mode with a high refresh rate that is twice (or some other scaling factor greater than) the native refresh rate. To enable operation at the high refresh rate mode, vertical resolution of the display may be sacrificed. In other words, rows of pixels may be grouped together into effective rows that are then scanned in sequence. The gate driver circuitry may be formed as thin-film transistor circuitry or from gate driver integrated circuits.

The non-horizontal portion of each gate line may be connected to the horizontal straight portion of the gate line by a via. The non-horizontal portions may each have portions that are overlapped by portions of the data lines. Dummy gate line structures may be provided on the display that are not coupled to any of the pixels in the display.

Abstract: A display may have a first stage such as a color liquid crystal display stage and a second stage such as a monochromatic liquid crystal display stage that are coupled in tandem so that light from a backlight passes through both stages. The pixel pitch of the second stage may be greater than the pixel pitch of the first stage to ease alignment tolerances and reduce image processing complexity. The first stage may be provided with straight black masking strips, whereas the second stage may be provided with angled zigzagging black masking strips. The angle of the zigzagging black masking strips and the ratio of the pixel pitch of the second stage to that of the first stage may be selected to maximize optical transmittance while minimizing Moire effects.
