Patent number: 10852815Abstract: Light output of a display can be dynamically adjusted on-the-fly. When implemented on a low-persistence display that supports a variable refresh rate, this dynamic light output adjustment maintains a constant brightness over a series of frames to eliminate flickering of the display. When pixel data of a given frame is output to a frame buffer for presenting an image on the display, a time difference between an illumination of the display's light emitting elements for a preceding frame and an upcoming illumination of the light emitting elements for the given frame may be determined, and this time difference is used to determine a value of a light output parameter. During presentation of the image on the display, the light emitting elements can be illuminated in accordance with the value of the light output parameter. This determination iterates over a series of frames to dynamically adjust the display's light output.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Valve CorporationInventor: Jeremy Adam Selan

Patent number: 10854139Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels operating at a low refresh rate. Each display pixel may have six thin-film transistors and one capacitor. One of the six transistors may serve as the drive transistor and may be compensated using the remaining five transistors and the capacitor.

Multiple anode reset and on-bias stress operations may be inserted during vertical blanking periods to reduce flicker and maintain balance and may also be inserted between successive data refreshes to improve first frame performance. Two different emission signals controlling each pixel may be toggled together using a pulse width modulation scheme to help provide darker black levels.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Chin-Wei Lin, Shyuan Yang, Chuang Qian, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Ting-Kuo Chang
