  • Publication number: 20240105115
    Abstract: Electronic devices, displays, and methods are provided for operating an electronic display in coexistence with sensors that could be adversely impacted by the operation of the electronic display. An electronic device may include an electronic display and a sensor. The electronic display may display image content by light emission during an emission period and periodically enter a quiet period in which the light emission of the electronic display is turned off. The sensor may perform sensing operations during the quiet period without interference from the operation of the electronic display.

  • Publication number: 20240029686
    Abstract: Circuits for programming a circuit with decreased programming time are provided. Such circuits include a storage device such as a capacitor for storing display information and for ensuring a driving device such as a driving transistor drives a light emitting device according to the display information. The present disclosure provides driving schemes for decreasing flickering perceived while displaying video content by introducing idle phases in between in emission phases to increase the effective refresh rate of a display. Driving schemes are also disclosed for reducing the effects of cross-talk by ensuring that programming information is refreshed in a display array that utilizes a driver connected to multiple data lines via a multiplexer.

  • Publication number: 20240005850
    Abstract: To reduce image artifacts induced by temperature variations associated with display pixels of an electronic display, processing circuitry may process temperature sensing data to obtain an average temperature and a temperature distribution of the electronic display. Based on the processed temperature data, the processing circuit may adjust a reference voltage applied to the display pixels to compensate for the average temperate. To further correct for the image artifacts, the processing circuitry may transform image data to luminance domain. Based on the processed temperature data, the processing may adjust luminance vales of the image data to compensate for the temperature distribution.

  • Publication number: 20230419906
    Abstract: A method and system determine the characteristics of drive devices and load devices in selected pixels in an array of pixels in a display in which each pixel includes a drive device for supplying current to a load device. The method and system supply current to the load device via the drive device in a selected pixel, the current being a function of a current effective characteristic of at least one of the drive device and the load device; measure the current via a measurement line that is shared by adjacent pixels, and extract the value of a selected effective characteristic of one of the drive and load devices from the effect of the current on another of the drive and load devices. Current may be measured via a read transistor in each pixel.

  • Publication number: 20230087088
    Abstract: A display may be formed by an array of light-emitting diodes mounted to the surface of a display substrate. The light-emitting diodes may be inorganic light-emitting diodes formed from separate crystalline semiconductor structures. An array of pixel control circuits may be used to control light emission from the light-emitting diodes. Each pixel control circuit may be configured to control one or more respective passive matrices. To control partial pixel cells in the display, a donor pixel control circuit in a partial pixel cell may control the pixels in a receptor partial pixel cell without a pixel control circuit. To mitigate the size of an inactive area of the display, fanout signal lines for the display may be formed in the light-emitting active area of the display. The fanout signal lines may be formed between a row of pixel control circuits and a bottom edge of the light-emitting active area.

    Abstract: Circuits, systems, methods, and devices are provided for isolating the first ground domain from the second ground domain while transmitting and receiving data between the two ground domains. The proposed high-voltage ground-isolating level shifter may be formed by AC coupling capacitors and a memory cell. The circuit under the high voltage ground domain may be located in an engineered high-voltage isolation well with a relatively large breakdown voltage.

  • Patent number: 11580913
    Abstract: A voltage-programmed display system allows measurement of effects on pixels in a panel that includes both active pixels and reference pixels coupled to a supply line and a programming line. The reference pixels are controlled so that they are not subject to substantial changes due to aging and operating conditions over time. A readout circuit is coupled to the active pixels and the reference pixels for reading at least one of current, voltage or charge from the pixels when they are supplied with known input signals. The readout circuit is subject to changes due to aging and operating conditions over time, but the readout values from the reference pixels are used to adjust the readout values from the active pixels to compensate for the unwanted effects.

  • Patent number: 11030949
    Abstract: Circuits for programming a circuit with decreased programming time are provided. Such circuits include a storage device such as a capacitor for storing display information and for ensuring a driving device such as a driving transistor drives a light emitting device according to the display information. To increase programming time, the pixel circuits may be pre-charged or a biasing current may be applied to charge and/or discharge a data line and/or the driving device. Aspects of the present disclosure allow for the biasing current to drain partially through the storage device to allow the portion of the biasing current applied to the driving device to remain small while the data line discharges. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides display architectures and operation schemes for display arranged in segments each including a plurality of pixel circuits.
