Publication number: 20190067407Abstract: A display may have display driver circuitry. Signal routing lines may supply multiplexed signals from the display driver circuitry to demultiplexer circuitry. The demultiplexer circuitry may provide corresponding demultiplexed signals to the pixels over signal routing lines. The demultiplexer circuitry may have demultiplexer circuit blocks such as 1:N demultiplexer circuit blocks. Each of the demultiplexer circuit blocks may have the same area and layout. The demultiplexer circuit blocks may run across the width of the display. A first portion of the demultiplexer circuit blocks may extend in a straight line parallel to an edge of the active area. A second portion of the demultiplexer circuit blocks may be arranged in a staircase pattern that angles away from the first portion of demultiplexer circuit blocks.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2018Publication date: February 28, 2019Inventors: Cheng-Ho Yu, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Shin-Hung Yeh, Sungki Lee, Ting-Kuo Chang, Yu Cheng Chen

Patent number: 10109240Abstract: An electronic device may include a display such as a light-emitting diode display. The electronic device may be a head-mounted device that provides a virtual reality or augmented reality environment to a user. To reduce artifacts in the display, a display may be operable in both a normal scanning mode and a partial scanning mode. In the normal scanning mode, every row of the display may be scanned in each frame. In the partial scanning mode, only a subset of the rows of the display may be scanned in each frame. The display may have a higher refresh rate in the partial scanning mode than in the normal scanning mode. The gate driver circuitry may include a shift register that includes a plurality of register circuits. At least one register circuit may have a first input and a second input that is different than the first input.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Shih Chang Chang, Keitaro Yamashita, Shin-Hung Yeh, Ting-Kuo Chang, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Chin-Wei Lin

Patent number: 10048788Abstract: Improvement of visual uniformity of an integrated touch screen display is provided. A touch screen can include common electrodes separated by gaps in a Vcom layer. To improve visual non-uniformity in the display resulting from the gaps, a first set of semi-transparent dummy features (primary-dummy features) can be formed on a second layer at the locations of the gaps, and a second set of dummy features (supplementary-dummy features) can also be formed on the second layer or another layer to mitigate low spatial resolution of the primary-dummy features and/or non-uniform spacing of the primary-dummy features. In some examples, holes or slits can be formed in the Vcom layer at areas of the supplementary-dummy features to further improve visual uniformity.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2016Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yu Cheng Chen, Abbas Jamshidi-Roudbari, Hiroshi Osawa, Shang-Chih Lin, Shih-Chang Chang, Shin-Hung Yeh, Ting-Kuo Chang, Majid Gharghi, Keitaro Yamashita

Patent number: 10019090Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. A transparent conductive layer may serve as a common voltage electrode layer and may distribute a common voltage to each of the pixels. Metal layers may be used to form routing structures. One of the metal layers may be patterned to form gate lines that distribute control signals to thin-film transistors in the pixels. Touch sensor circuitry may be coupled to horizontal and vertical capacitive touch sensor electrodes formed from the transparent conductive layer. A touch sensor signal border routing path in an inactive area of the display may have openings that run parallel to the gate lines and that each overlap one of the gate lines to reduce capacitive coupling between the gate lines and the touch sensor signal border routing path.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Majid Gharghi, Sungki Lee, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Shin-Hung Yeh, Ting-Kuo Chang, Yu Cheng Chen

To reduce artifacts in the display, a display may be operable in both a normal scanning mode and a partial scanning mode. In the normal scanning mode, every row of the display may be enabled to emit light in each frame. In the partial scanning mode, only a subset of the rows of the display may be enabled to emit light in each frame. The display may have a higher refresh rate in the partial scanning mode than in the normal scanning mode. To ensure uniform transistor stress across the display, the scanning driver for the display may scan the disabled rows in the partial scanning mode even though the rows will not be used to emit light.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2016Publication date: March 15, 2018Inventors: Keitaro Yamashita, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Shin-Hung Yeh, Tsung-Ting Tsai, Shih-Chang Chang, Ting-Kuo Chang, Ki Yeol Byun, Warren S.
