Publication number: 20240086014Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with touch sensors. One or more shielding layers may be interposed between the display and the touch sensors. The shielding layers may include shielding structures such as a conductive mesh structure and/or a transparent conductive film. The shielding structures may be actively driven or passively biased. In the active driving scheme, one or more inverting circuits may receive a noise signal from a cathode layer in the display and/or from the shielding structures, invert the received noise signal, and drive the inverted noise signal back onto the shielding structures to prevent any noise from the display from negatively impacting the performance of the touch sensors. In the passive biasing scheme, the shielding structures may be biased to a power supply voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Rungrot Kitsomboonloha, Donggeon Han, Jason N Gomez, Kyung Wook Kim, Nikolaus Hammler, Pei-En Chang, Saman Saeedi, Shih Chang Chang, Shinya Ono, Suk Won Hong, Szu-Hsien Lee, Victor H Yin, Young-Jik Jo, Yu-Heng Cheng, Joyan G Sanctis, Hongwoo Lee

Patent number: 10157561Abstract: A display may have a first stage such as a color liquid crystal display stage and a second stage such as a monochromatic liquid crystal display stage that are coupled in tandem so that light from a backlight passes through both stages. The pixel pitch of the second stage may be greater than the pixel pitch of the first stage to ease alignment tolerances and reduce image processing complexity. The first stage may be provided with straight black masking strips, whereas the second stage may be provided with angled zigzagging black masking strips. The angle of the zigzagging black masking strips and the ratio of the pixel pitch of the second stage to that of the first stage may be selected to maximize optical transmittance while minimizing Moire effects.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2015Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jin Yan, Young Cheol Yang, Jun Jiang, Hao-Lin Chiu, Young-Jik Jo, Cheng Chen

Patent number: 9984638Abstract: A display may have a first stage such as a color liquid crystal display stage and a second stage such as a monochromatic liquid crystal display stage that are coupled in tandem so that light from a backlight passes through both stages. The first (upper) stage may be a high resolution display panel that is operated at a first refresh rate while the second (lower) stage is a low resolution display panel that is operated at a second refresh rate that is greater than the first refresh rate. In particular, the second stage may be configured to provide localized dimming that is synchronized to one or more moving objects in the video frames to be displayed to help reduce the perceived motion blur. The localized dimming may be provided via insertion of a black image portion that only overlaps with the moving objects, a blanking row that tracks the moving objects, a black frame, etc.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Byung Duk Yang, Kyung Wook Kim, Shih Chang Chang, Young-Jik Jo

Patent number: 9606382Abstract: A display has an array of pixels controlled by display driver circuitry. Gate driver circuitry supplies gate line signals to rows of the pixels. The pixels may be liquid crystal display pixels. Each pixel may have a common electrode voltage terminal. The display may have a transparent conductive film that forms a common electrode voltage layer that overlaps that array and that is shorted to the common electrode voltage terminals of the pixels. Metal common electrode voltage lines may run across the transparent conductive film to reduce resistance. Metal common electrode voltage paths that are coupled to the metal common electrode voltage lines may run along the left and right edge of the display. Common electrode voltage compensation circuits may receive feedback from the metal common electrode voltage paths. There may be two or more common electrode voltage compensation circuits for both the left and right edges of the display.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Young-Jik Jo, Chun-Yao Huang, Hao-Lin Chiu, Kwang Soon Park, Shih Chang Chang

Patent number: 9362316Abstract: Disclosed is a display device which includes: a plurality of gate lines arranged in a first direction; a plurality of data lines arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction; a plurality of jumping electrodes each disposed a first edge portion of each of the data lines; and a plurality of shield portions disposed between the jumping electrodes. Such a display device allows the shield portions to be disposed between the jumping electrodes. As such, the display device can prevent a light leak phenomenon due to an electric field which is generated by the shortened distance between the front edge portions of the data lines.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: LG Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Young Jik Jo, Chul Nam
