Abstract: A method of leakage-compensated global illumination comprises obtaining position data for at least one of a head or an eye of a user of a display system by an application processor, rendering image data for an image frame by the application processor based on the position data, modifying the image data to compensate for leakage associated with a global illumination by a display of the display system, and sending the image data to a display driver circuit of the display system for displaying the image frame on the display through the global illumination.

Abstract: A method including determining a maximum luminance location of a display based on a field of view of an eye of a user of the display, and driving a plurality of light sources in the display based on locations of the plurality of light sources with respect to the maximum luminance location of the display. The plurality of light sources is controlled to have different luminance levels in different display zones corresponding to different zones on the retina of the eye of the user. In some examples, the display zones of the display system that have higher luminance levels can be dynamically changed based on the field of view or the gaze direction of the eye of the user.

Separately forming the display and the display circuitry may simplify formation of the OLED and allow for a higher density control interface between the display and the DDIC.

The electronic device is also to shift the pixels of the active area within the virtual display according to a pixel shifting technique and update a touch coordinate offset for the touch screen interface based on the shift.
