Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for adjusting image display on an electronic display by predicting a temperature change of the electronic display due to heat-producing components near the display or due to changes in content. An electronic device may include an electronic display and processing circuitry. The electronic display may include pixels with behaviors that vary with temperature. As such, the processing circuitry may generate image data to send to the electronic display and adjust the image data or vary an operation of the electronic display based at least in part on a predicted temperature effect on at least part of the active area of the electronic display. The processing circuitry may determine the predicted temperature effect at least in part due to a first heat producing component or changes in content of the image data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for differential sensing (DS), difference-differential sensing (DDS), correlated double sampling (CDS), and/or programmable capacitor matching to reduce display panel sensing noise. An electronic device may include one or more processors and an electronic display. The one or more processors may generate image data and adjust the image data based at least in part on display sensing feedback. The electronic display may employ sensing circuitry that obtains the display sensing feedback at least in part by applying test data to a pixel of a column of an active area of the display and differentially senses an electrical value of the pixel in comparison to a reference signal from a different column. This reference signal may provide a common mode noise reference, which is removed by the differential sensing and thereby enhances a quality of the sensed electrical value of the pixel.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a flexible display such as an organic light-emitting diode display. A strain sensing resistor may be formed on a bent tail portion of the flexible display to gather strain measurements. Resistance measurement circuitry in a display driver integrated circuit may make resistance measurements on the strain sensing resistor and a temperature compensation resistor to measure strain. A crack detection line may be formed from an elongated pair of traces that are coupled at their ends to form a loop. The crack detection line may run along a peripheral edge of the flexible display. Crack detection circuitry may monitor the resistance of the crack detection line to detect cracks. The crack detection circuitry may include switches that adjust the length of the crack detection line and thereby allow resistances to be measured for different segments of the line.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and a display. A display driver integrated circuit in the display may have a spectrum analyzer circuit. An antenna may monitor for wireless signals. The display driver integrated circuit may use the spectrum analyzer circuit to analyze the wireless signals and determine whether there is a potential for visible display artifacts. In the presence of conditions that can lead to display artifacts, the display driver integrated circuit may adjust a gate driver control signal. Adjustments to the gate driver control signal may be made using adjustable signal dividers. The adjustments to the gate driver control signal eliminate the visible display artifacts.

Abstract: Devices and methods related to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are provided. For example, such an electronic device may include an LCD with a slew rate control unit that adjusts a slew rate for source drivers of the LCD. The slew rate may be adjusted differently for each source driver and for each frame of data signal delivered by the source driver. Individually adjusting the slew rate of the source driver enables the LCD to respond to or reduce noise within the LCD that may otherwise contribute to flickering or other unwanted display events.
