  • Publication number: 20190080639
    Abstract: A display presents information with pixels driven at overdrive voltages set based upon a user configuration and sensed environmental conditions. Varied overdrive voltages provide adaptable display responses with proportional power consumption so that power consumption is reduced where visual images of a display content have reduced need for rapid display response. For example, reduced bandwidth availability that impacts display resolution allows reduced overdrive voltages that scale to visual content resolution.

  • Patent number: 10049614
    Abstract: An OLED degradation compensation system includes a display system having an OLED display device. A computing device is coupled to the display system and includes an OLED display device adjustment database storing an OLED table that is associated with a usage time of the OLED display device and that includes OLED compensation information that is based upon the usage time. An OLED display device use tracking engine in the computing system determines usage data for the OLED display device. An OLED display device adjustment engine in the computing system retrieves the usage data determined by the OLED display device use tracking engine, uses the usage data to select the OLED table in response to the usage data corresponding to the usage time associated with the OLED table, and causes at least one OLED in the OLED display device to be powered using the OLED compensation information in the OLED table.

  • Patent number: 10037724
    Abstract: A display presents information as visual images with plural pixels, each pixel having red, green and blue OLED films that illuminate with varying intensity defined by pixel values generated by a graphics processor. An image adjuster alters the pixel values for pixels located outside the field of view of an end user so that degradation of OLED material occurs in a balanced manner, such as by reducing illumination of blue OLED material, which tends to degrade at a more rapid rate than red and green OLED material.

  • Publication number: 20180143735
    Abstract: A method, information handling system, and display assembly utilizes wherein a first touch panel indication is detected, and it is determined whether the first touch panel indication is from a defined bending area or from a defined non-bending area. When the first touch panel indication is from the defined bending area, it is determined if there is a second touch panel indication from an other touch sensor element adjacent to the first touch sensor element. When there is a simultaneous second touch panel indication, the touch location is interpolated based on the locations of the first and the other touch sensor elements. When there is a sequential second touch panel indication, the touch location is extrapolated based on locations of the first and the other touch sensor elements and a sequence of the first touch panel indication and the second touch panel indication.
