    Abstract: A GOA circuit comprising GOA units and a liquid crystal display are disclosed. The N-staged GOA units charge the Nth-staged horizontal scanning line in the display region, and comprise N-staged pull-up control circuits, N-staged pull-up circuits, N-staged transfer circuits, N-staged pull-down circuits, and N-staged pull-down holding circuits. The N-staged pull-up circuits turn on when the Nth-staged gate signal point is at a high voltage level, receive a first clock signal and charge the N-staged horizontal scanning lines when the first clock signal is at a high voltage level. The N-staged transfer circuits receive a second clock signal when the Nth-staged gate signal point is at the high voltage level and output N-staged transfer signals to control the operation of the (N+1)-staged GOA units. The disclosure may ensure the scanning lines in the GOA circuit to be better charged for facilitating normal operation for each point in the circuit.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing linear scaling in a display control unit. A display control unit receives source image data that has already been gamma encoded with an unknown gamma value. The display control unit includes a hard-coded LUT storing a gamma curve of a first gamma value which is used to perform a degamma operation on the received source image data. Even if the first gamma value used to perform the degamma operation is different from the gamma value used to gamma encode the source image data, fewer visual artifacts are generated as compared with not performing a degamma operation. After the degamma operation is performed, the source image data may be linearly scaled.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with a brightness that is adjusted based on ambient light data from multiple ambient light sensors. Sensors that are shadowed can be ignored. A touch sensor array in the display may have electrodes that overlap ambient light sensors. When a touch sensor signal indicates that an external object is covering one of the ambient light sensors, data from that ambient light sensor can be discarded. The ambient light sensors may include a primary ambient light sensor such as a human-eye-response ambient light sensor and may include an array of secondary ambient light sensors such as non-human-eye-response sensors. The secondary ambient light sensors may be formed on a display layer such as a thin-film-transistor layer and may be formed from thin-film materials. An algorithm may be used to dynamically calibrate non-human-eye-response ambient light sensors to the human-eye-response ambient light sensor.
