    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels each of which has a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. A drive transistor and an emission transistor may be coupled in series with the light-emitting diode of each pixel between a positive power supply and a ground power supply. The pixels may include first and second switching transistors. A data storage capacitor may be coupled between a gate and source of the drive transistor in each pixel. Signal lines may be provided in columns of pixels to route signals such as data signals, sensed drive currents from the drive transistors, and predetermined voltages between display driver circuitry and the pixels. The switching transistors, emission transistors, and drive transistors may include semiconducting-oxide transistors and silicon transistors and may be n-channel transistors or p-channel transistors.

    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels. Each pixel in the array includes an organic light-emitting diode coupled to a drive transistor, a data loading transistor, a first capacitor for storing data charge, and a second capacitor. During a data programming phase, the data loading transistor may be activated to load in a data value onto the first capacitor. After the data programming phase, the second capacitor may be configured to receive a lower voltage, which extends a threshold voltage sampling time for the pixel. Configured and operated in this way, the temperature luminance sensitivity of the display can be reduced.

    Abstract: A display is provided that includes an array of display pixels that receive data signals from display driver circuitry and that receive control signals from gate driver circuitry. The gate driver circuitry may include a chain of row driver circuits. Each row driver circuit may include a scan driver circuit and a scan inverter circuit. An enable transistor may be interposed between the scan driver circuit and the scan inverter circuit and may be selectively disabled to decouple the scan inverter circuit from the scan driver circuit to allow the scan inverter circuit to operate independent from the scan driver circuit. The scan inverter circuit may include a transistor that receives a scan pulse signal from the scan driver circuit and may further include additional transistors connected in a negative feedback configuration to reduce a drain-to-source voltage across the transistor to reduce leakage across the transistor during blanking times.

    Abstract: A display pixel is provided that is operable to support hybrid compensation scheme having both in-pixel threshold voltage canceling and external threshold voltage compensation. The display may include multiple p-type silicon transistors with at least one n-type semiconducting-oxide transistor and one storage capacitor. An on-bias stress phase may be performed prior to a threshold voltage sampling and data programming phase to mitigate hysteresis and improve first frame response. In low refresh rate displays, a first additional on-bias stress operation can be performed separate from the threshold voltage sampling and data programming phase during a refresh frame and a second additional on-bias stress operation can be performed during a vertical blanking frame. The display pixel may be configured to receive an initialization voltage and an anode reset voltage, either of which can be dynamically tuned to match the stress of the first and second additional on-bias stress operations to minimize flicker.
