  • Publication number: 20190088208
    Abstract: A display may have rows and columns of pixels. Gate lines may be used to supply gate signals to rows of the pixels. Data lines may be used to supply data signals to columns of the pixels. The data lines may include alternating even and odd data lines. Data lines may be organized in pairs each of which includes one of the odd data lines and an adjacent one of the even data lines. Demultiplexer circuitry may be configured dynamically during data loading and pixel sensing operations. During data loading, data from display driver circuitry may be supplied, alternately to odd pairs of the data lines and even pairs of the data lines. During sensing, the demultiplexer circuitry may couple a pair of the even data lines to sensing circuitry in the display driver circuitry and then may couple a pair of the odd data lines to the sensing circuitry.

  • Publication number: 20190057646
    Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels operating at a low refresh rate. Each display pixel may have six thin-film transistors and one capacitor. One of the six transistors may serve as the drive transistor and may be compensated using the remaining five transistors and the capacitor. One or more on-bias stress operations may be applied before threshold voltage sampling to mitigate first frame dimming. Multiple anode reset and on-bias stress operations may be inserted during vertical blanking periods to reduce flicker and maintain balance and may also be inserted between successive data refreshes to improve first frame performance. Two different emission signals controlling each pixel may be toggled together using a pulse width modulation scheme to help provide darker black levels.

  • Publication number: 20190043418
    Abstract: A display may have rows and columns of pixels that form an active area for displaying images. A display driver integrated circuit may provide multiplexed data signals to demultiplexer circuitry in the display. The demultiplexer circuitry may demultiplex the data signals and provide the demultiplexed data signals to the pixels on data lines. Gate lines may control the loading of the data signals into the pixels. The display may have a length dimension and a width dimension that is shorter than the length dimension. The data lines may extend parallel to the width dimension and the gate lines may extend parallel to the length dimension such that there are more data lines than gate lines in the display. A notch that is free of pixels may extend into the active area. Data lines extending parallel to the width dimension of the display may be routed around the notch.

  • Patent number: 10192938
    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. Display driver circuitry may supply data and control signals to the pixels. Each pixel may have seven transistors, a capacitor, and a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. The seven transistors may receive control signals using horizontal control lines. Each pixel may have first and second emission enable transistors that are coupled in series with a drive transistor and the light-emitting diode of that pixel. The first and second emission enable transistors may be coupled to a common control line or may be separately controlled so that on-bias stress can be effectively applied to the drive transistor. The display driver circuitry may have gate driver circuits that provide different gate line signals to different rows of pixels within the display. Different rows may also have different gate driver strengths and different supplemental gate line loading structures.

  • Publication number: 20180366065
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to display circuitry. The display circuitry includes gate-in-panel (GIP) control circuitry on opposing sides of a display pixel array. The GIP control circuitry can include scan drivers for each pixel row on both sides of that pixel row, the scan drivers on either side configured for enablement or disablement for single-sided reduced-power operations. The GIP control circuitry can include a single scan driver and a single emission controller for each pixel row, in which the scan driver and emission controller for each row are disposed on opposing sides of the row. The scan drivers for a first subset of the pixel rows can be interleaved with the emission controllers for a different subset of the pixel rows.

  • Publication number: 20180061311
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a display and a controller. The controller is configured to provide a first frequency refresh rate to the display. The controller is also configured to generate a control signal configured to control emission of a light emitting diode of a display pixel of the display at a second frequency based on whether the first frequency refresh rate of the display is less than a predetermined threshold value.
