Abstract: Synthetic av?6 integrin ligands of Formula I having serum stability and affinity for integrin av?6, which is a receptor expressed in a variety of cell types, are described. The described ligands are useful for delivering cargo molecules, such as RNAi agents or other oligonucleotide-based compounds, to cells that express integrin av?6, and thereby facilitating the uptake of the cargo molecules into these cells. Compositions that include avB6 integrin ligands and methods of use are also described.

Abstract: An electronic device may include display layers such as liquid crystal display layers and a backlight unit that provides illumination for the display layers. The backlight unit may include light-emitting diodes that emit light into the edge of a light guide film. To minimize the inactive area of the display, the light-emitting diodes may be tightly spaced to approximate a line light source instead of point light sources. Color and/or luminance compensation layers may be incorporated at various locations within the backlight structures to ensure that the backlight provided to the display layers is homogenous. A thin-film transistor layer of the display may be coupled to a printed circuit board by a flexible printed circuit. The flexible printed circuit may have additional solder mask layers to improve robustness, may include encapsulation, and may have traces with a varying pitch.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to displays for electronic devices and methods of operating the displays.

A v-drive operation in which rows are alternatingly operated about a center of each of two halves of the display is provided. Data rendering operations are provided that generate a virtual frame rate boost.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display. Input-output circuitry in the electronic device may be used to gather input from a viewer of the display. The input-output circuitry may include a gaze tracking system that gathers point-of-gaze information, vergence information, and head position information, may be a biometric sensor, may be an input device such as a button or touch sensor, may capture hand gestures, and/or may gather other information. The display may include a pixel array for producing images. An adjustable reflectance and transmittance layer may overlap the pixel array. Control circuitry in the electronic device may individually adjust different areas of the adjustable reflectance and transmittance layer. The control circuitry may place each area in a reflective mirror more or in a content-displaying mode and may move the areas in response to the information.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to display circuitry including pixel overdrive circuitry. The pixel overdrive circuitry includes a compression engine that compresses a previous display frame, for storage and comparison to a current display frame without compression or decompression of the current display frame. The compression engine compresses the previous frame in such a way that the maximum compression error is always known and can be used to determine whether to perform overdrive operations for the current frame without compressing and decompressing the current display frame. The compression engine selects gradient encoding or decimation encoding for the compression of the previous display frame and can perform successive decimation operations within the gradient encoding operations to help reduce the size of the compressed previous frame while maintaining the quality of the ultimate overdriven current frame.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a display for displaying image content to a user and dynamic image stabilization circuitry for dynamically compensating the image content if the device is moving unpredictably to help keep the image content aligned with the user's gaze. The electronic device may include sensors for detecting the displacement of the device. The dynamic image stabilization circuitry may include a usage scenario detection circuit and a content displacement compensation calculation circuit. The usage scenario detection circuit receives data from the sensors and infers a usage scenario based on the sensor data. The content displacement compensation calculation circuit uses the inferred usage scenario to compute a displacement amount by which to adjust image content. When motion stops, the image content may gradually drift back to the center of the display.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to pulsed backlight operation for a display backlight. Backlight pulse patterns are provided that include steady state pulse patterns to be applied during operation of a liquid crystal display unit of the display at a corresponding frame rate. The backlight pulse patterns can be arranged to prevent visible artifacts such as flicker or strobing, particularly at or near a transition between LCD frame rates.

The pixel overdrive circuitry includes one more lookup tables of boost values to be applied to pixel display values of a frame to be displayed, for overdrive of that frame. Each lookup table includes a lightness-blur-edge-width-based boost value. The lightness-blur-edge-width-based boost value matches a lightness-blur-edge-width of an intermediate grey-to-grey transition to a lightness-blur-edge-width of a maximum grey-to-grey transition.

Abstract: A display may have a color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. A liquid crystal layer may be interposed between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. Column spacer structures may be used to maintain a desired gap for the liquid crystal layer between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. The column spacer structures may include column spacers having bases and opposing tips. The tips may penetrate into the liquid crystal layer and may bear against the thin-film transistor layer or aligned column spacer pads on the thin-film transistor layer. The color filter layer may have a glass substrate, a black matrix on the substrate, a color filter element layer on the black matrix, and an overcoat on the color filter element layer. Some or all of the column spacers may have bases that contact the black matrix layer.
