Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at compensating for non-uniform luminance in curved-edge displays. In aspects, a computing device having a curved-edge display and a luminance manager is configured to receive an indication of a luminance that is, or is intended to be, displayed by pixels of the curved-edge display.

Based on the determined luminance modification, the luminance manager modifies the luminance that is displayed or modifies the intended luminance that is intended to be displayed by pixels of the curved-edge display effective to compensate for the non-uniform luminance.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for spatially and temporally dynamic illumination for fingerprint authentication. In aspects, a method is disclosed that involves receiving user input at a display of an electronic device, initiating biometric authentication, and instructing a display-driver integrated circuit (DDIC) to implement a local high-brightness mode, which causes a predetermined portion of the display to increase in luminance to a target luminance for at least a first interval and a second interval. The DDIC is also instructed to cause a variable portion of the display to increase in luminance for the first interval and, at the expiration of the first interval, decrease luminance. During the first and/or second interval, an under-display fingerprint sensor captures one or more images. It is then determined, based on analysis of the one or more images, whether the user input is indicative of an authorized user.
