  • Patent number: 12387652
    Abstract: A control circuit adjusts a value of a source supply voltage VSSEL provided to a display area in an electronic display. The control circuit also adjusts a voltage Vreset applied to the display area to cause the display area to emit light more uniformly under various ambient conditions (e.g., temperature) surrounding the display area. Dynamically changing Vreset is employed to make anode charging dynamics independent of temperature. The control circuit adjusts the source supply voltage VSSEL and the voltage Vreset together to compensate display pixel hysteresis effects and display artifacts caused by temperature changes and brightness changes of the display area and collectively produce images. Dynamically tuning the Vreset and the VSSEL voltages also saves power and improves gray level accuracy for the electronic display.

  • Patent number: 12249295
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gradation voltage generation circuit, output amplifier circuits, a drive control circuit, and a delay time measurement circuit. The gradation voltage generation circuit converts, according to a load signal, pixel data pieces into gradation voltages and outputs the gradation voltages. The output amplifier circuits generate drive signals by individually amplifying the gradation voltages, and output the drive signals to data lines. The drive control circuit outputs the load signal to the gradation voltage generation circuit according to a horizontal synchronization signal. The delay time measurement circuit obtains, as a measured delay time, a time from receiving the measurement start signal until a voltage value of the drive signal outputted from one of the output amplifier circuits exceeds a predetermined threshold voltage. The drive control circuit shifts a timing of outputting the load signal by a difference between the measured delay time and a reference delay time.
