  • Publication number: 20260010329
    Abstract: Disclosed is the differential application of scalars to compensate pixel degradation. Input image data is associated with a commanded luminance at each of a plurality of pixels. A degradation value is determined for each pixel. Based on the degradation value, an elevated drive current is determined to produce commanded luminance at the pixel. A required scalar is determined for each pixel to hold the elevated drive current from exceeding a drive current threshold. An applied scalar for each pixel is determined for each pixel to be applied to the elevated drive current. For at least some pixels, the applied scalar for a first pixel is based at least on [1] the required scalar of a second pixel and [2] a spatial relationship between the first pixel and the second pixel. Applied scalars are then used to output corrected imagery.

  • Publication number: 20250273136
    Abstract: An electronic device initiates a scan of a display frame in the display, the scan displaying a sequence of display rows from a starting point of the frame to an ending point of the display frame. A horizontal blanking period is positioned in time between each display row during which display emissions are turned off. The electronic device progressively scans a first sub-sequence of the display rows in the sequence during a first time period and then scans a display row having a quiet period inserted into a horizontal blanking period adjacent to the display row. Display pixel operations are delayed until expiration of the quiet period during the horizontal blanking period. The electronic device then progressively scans a second sub-sequence of the display rows in the sequence during a second time period.

  • Patent number: 11322062
    Abstract: The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can receive content data relating to a pair of displays that are rotatable around a hinge axis and that include curved regions proximate to the hinge axis. The example can generate a frame rendering for the content data that progressively dims the curved regions of the displays with decreasing distance from hinge axis.
