Abstract: While organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display devices are often calibrated upon commissioning to provide similar output colors in response to input signals, they are not calibrated based on varying display content. Significant variation in output color as a function of varying output display content is increasingly unacceptable to users. In an OLED display, an emissive electroluminescent layer selectively emits light in discrete areas in response to an electric current. Higher overall applied electrical currents correspond to higher overall output luminesces, however, as current is increased, attendant voltage generally drops. Variation in attendant voltage causes variation in output color.

Abstract: Varying electrical currents are selectively applied to each pixel within an OLED display to create desired images. High applied electrical currents to groupings of nearby pixels create high luminance features, while low applied electrical currents to groupings of nearby pixels create low luminance features. A combination of a high luminance and low luminance features may be present on the OLED display. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is often used to increase the current applied to the OLED display by modulating the applied current, particularly when creating low luminance features. The presently disclosed systems and methods detect a gray portion of an image to be presented, and select PWM independently of peak luminance based on the detected gray portion. The allows the OLED display to display low-luminance features at high quality, even when high-luminance features are also present within a frame.

Abstract: A method for optical calibration of a plurality of displays is provided. At a manufacturing stage, a plurality of one-time programmable (OTP) values for each display is created, each OTP value including a value of manufacture gamma voltage corresponding to a manufacture luminance and color value. The OTP values are stored in non-volatile memory of the respective display. At an assembly stage, each display is connected to a respective power management integrated circuit (PMIC); assembly test voltages are applied corresponding to the manufacture gamma voltage of each stored OTP value. Differences between assembly luminance and color values of each display and an expected value as a result of applying each assembly test voltage are measured. For each display, one value of manufacture gamma voltage of a respective OTP value is selected that corresponds to a minimal difference between the assembly luminance and color values and the expected value.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices and techniques for dynamically adjusting the bias voltage (V) levels (e.g., low level gate voltage (VGL) and high level gate voltage (VGH)) for display screens made with thin-film transistor (TFT) technology based on a display run time. Thus, as the positive bias temperature stress for the TFTs increases over the course of the display lifetime, features of the present disclosure adjust the bias voltage levels to maintain operation margin (e.g., the ratio between the high level gate voltage (VGH) value and the voltage value which the display can maintain with normal operation). By dynamically adjusting the bias voltage levels, the TFT displays of the present disclosure consume lower power than their conventional counterparts and improve the lifetime of the display itself.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for more accurately estimating the pose of a camera used to capture a three-dimensional scene. Accuracy is enhanced by leveraging three-dimensional object priors extracted from a large-scale three-dimensional shape database. This allows existing feature matching techniques to be augmented by generic three-dimensional object priors, thereby providing robust information about object orientations across multiple images or frames. More specifically, the three-dimensional object priors provide a unit that is easier and more reliably tracked between images than a single feature point. By adding object pose estimates across images, drift is reduced and the resulting visual odometry techniques are more robust and accurate. This eliminates the need for three-dimensional object templates that are specifically generated for the imaged object, training data obtained for a specific environment, and other tedious preprocessing steps.

Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. Each pixel may have a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. The organic light-emitting diodes may each have an anode that is coupled to a thin-film transistor pixel circuit for controlling the anode. Transparent windows may be formed in the display. The windows may be formed by replacing subpixels in some of the pixels with transparent windows. When subpixels are replaced by transparent windows, adjacent subpixels may be overdriven to compensate for lost light from the replaced subpixels. Adjacent subpixels may also be enlarged to help compensate for lost light. An array of electrical components such as an array of light sensors may be aligned with the transparent windows and may be used to measure light passing through the transparent windows.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels. The device may have an array of components such as an array of light sensors for capturing fingerprints of a user through an array of corresponding transparent windows in the display. A capacitive touch sensor, proximity sensor, force sensor, or other sensor may be used by control circuitry in the device to monitor for the presence of a user's finger over the array of light sensors. In response, the control circuitry can direct the display to illuminate a subset of the pixels, thereby illuminating the user's finger and causing reflected light from the finger to illuminate the array of light sensors for a fingerprint capture operation. The display may have display driver circuitry that facilitates the momentary illumination of the subset of pixels with uniform flash data while image data is displayed in other portions of the display.

Abstract: A graphical display device includes a plurality of color-specific subpixels spatially distributed across a display region. Subpixel wear compensation is performed for some or all of the color-specific subpixels. For each color-specific subpixel, the compensation may include sampling one or more display signals directed to the color-specific subpixel to obtain a time-series of sampled values. The compensation may further include storing, in non-volatile storage, compensation data for the color-specific subpixel derived from the time-series of sampled values. The compensation may further include driving the color-specific subpixel based on the compensation data.
