  • Patent number: 11955076
    Abstract: An example method includes estimating, based on content to be displayed at a display of a mobile computing device at a future time, an amount of power to be used by the display at the future time; selecting, based on the estimated power level, a power converter of a plurality of power converters of the mobile computing device, each of the plurality of power converters optimized for a different output power range; and causing electrical power from the selected power converter to be supplied to the display at the future time.

  • Patent number: 11948520
    Abstract: PWM-frame rate misalignment is mitigated through implementation of a discrete variable refresh rate (VRR) scheme. A target frame rate is limited to a frame rate selected from only those frame rates that facilitate alignment of each frame period to a specified edge of a PWM cycle of a brightness control signal of a display panel. This alignment results in each frame period at the selected frame rate starting at a same point in a corresponding PWM cycle and ending at a same point in a corresponding PWM cycle to help ensure a constant effective duty cycle across each successive frame period, which in turn mitigates perception of flicker that otherwise would arise. Further, the discrete VRR scheme can employ a compensation mode for compensating for the delay in rendering or otherwise obtaining a frame for display so as to maintain a consistent duty cycle in the brightness control signal.

  • Patent number: 11929018
    Abstract: A frame generation subsystem renders a sequence of frames and a display control subsystem provides a brightness control signal configured to control a brightness of frames displayed at a display panel via pulse width modulation (PWM) of the brightness control signal and determines a deviation in a duty cycle of a first PWM period of the brightness control signal from a default duty cycle resulting from a delayed rendering of a frame. The display control subsystem adjusts a duty cycle of at least a second PWM period to compensate for the deviation in the duty cycle of the first PWM period. The resulting average duty cycle of the brightness control signal over the two frame periods is approximately equal to a default duty cycle and thereby mitigates viewable flicker resulting from the duty cycle change caused by the delayed rendering.

  • Publication number: 20240078952
    Abstract: Rendering images on an active area of an OLED includes rendering images on the active area of the display panel with a plurality of different frame rates. For a plurality of the different frame rates having a frame rate that matches or is above a threshold frame rate, an image refresh operation is performed once per frame period and a self-refresh operation is not performed during the frame period. When rendering images on the active area, for at least one of the different frame rates having a frame rate that is lower than the threshold frame rate, an image refresh operation is performed once per frame period and a self-refresh operation is performed at least once during the frame period.
