  • Patent number: 11862066
    Abstract: A graphics processing unit (GPU) instructs a display control module to capture content and display captured content in response to the refresh rate of a display exceeding a frame generation rate of the GPU. Rather than re-transmit the same frame multiple times, the GPU instructs the display control module to replay a previously-transmitted frame. During a refresh cycle in which the display control module is replaying captured content, the GPU omits accessing memory to retrieve and resend the frame that is being replayed, and instead sends only invalid data and GPU timing information so that the display control module remains synchronized with the GPU.

  • Patent number: 11862069
    Abstract: A micro-LED driver applies a low baseline power (i.e., a baseline voltage or current) to pre-charge a micro-LED in a nominally-off (i.e., non-light-emitting) state in addition to applying an operating driving power to drive the micro-LED in a light-emitting state. By pre-charging the micro-LED prior to applying the operating driving power, the micro-LED driver significantly decreases the time between application of the operating driving power and onset of emission of light from the micro-LED. In some embodiments, the micro-LED driver applies an operating driving power having multiple phases of current density to reduce the time between application of the operating driving power and onset of emission of light from the micro-LED.

  • Patent number: 11862083
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display mounted in a housing. The display may have a pixel array that produces images. A display cover layer may overlap the pixel array. The display cover layer may have a planar central area surrounded by a peripheral edge area with a curved cross-sectional profile. From an on-axis viewing angle, an image on the pixel array is fully viewable through the planar central area and the peripheral edge area. From an off-axis viewing angle, the image is partly viewable through the peripheral edge area and not through the central area. To avoid an undesired color cast in the partly viewable image seen through the peripheral edge area of the display cover layer, the display may be provided with color cast compensation structures such as a guest-host liquid crystal layer that exhibits an anisotropic colored light absorption characteristic, a diffuser layer, and/or other optical structures.
