  • Patent number: 11733807
    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. The pixels may contain light-emitting diodes. When it is desired to use the display to operate as a light sensor, some of the light-emitting diodes may be forward biased to emit light while some of the light-emitting diodes are reversed biased to detect the emitted light after the emitted light has reflected from an external object. During light sensing operations, one or more areas of the display may be temporarily deactivated so that the light-sensing pixels may measure the reflected light. Vertical lines may serve both as data loading lines and as current sensing lines. Currents may be sensed during drive transistor current compensation and during light sensing. The vertical lines may load signals into the pixels that forward bias the light-emitting diodes to emit light when it is desired to display images for a user.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display including display pixels to display an image based on compensated image data. The electronic display may also include a stressed reference pixel to exhibit burn-in related aging in response to one or more stress sessions and a non-stressed reference pixel configured to not undergo the one or more stress sessions. Additionally, the electronic device may include image processing circuitry to determine a panel-specific aging profile based on a comparison between one or more properties of the stressed reference pixel and the one or more properties of the non-stressed reference pixel. The image processing circuitry may also generate one or more gain maps based on the panel-specific aging profile and generate the compensated image data by applying the one or more gain maps to input image data.
