Abstract: An electronic device includes display circuitry with a source amplifier and a data line that drives signals provided by the source amplifier. Additionally, the display circuitry includes pixels, where each pixel includes a diode, and a scan thin-film-transistor (TFT) that selectively couples the pixels with the data line, based upon a scan control signal. Sensing circuitry of the electronic device includes a capacitor that is electrically coupled to the data line, wherein the capacitor is pre-charged by the source amplifier when the scan TFT is OFF and a sensing amplifier electrically coupled to the data line, providing a sensing output of both a diode voltage of the one or more pixels and a driving current of the one or more pixels, depending on the current operation of the sensing circuitry. Further, conversion circuitry converts the sensing output from an analog domain to a digital domain.

Abstract: A display may have rows and columns of pixels. Gate lines may be used to supply gate signals to rows of the pixels. Data lines may be used to supply data signals to columns of the pixels. The data lines may include alternating even and odd data lines. Data lines may be organized in pairs each of which includes one of the odd data lines and an adjacent one of the even data lines. Demultiplexer circuitry may be configured dynamically during data loading and pixel sensing operations. During data loading, data from display driver circuitry may be supplied, alternately to odd pairs of the data lines and even pairs of the data lines. During sensing, the demultiplexer circuitry may couple a pair of the even data lines to sensing circuitry in the display driver circuitry and then may couple a pair of the odd data lines to the sensing circuitry.

Abstract: A touch sensor panel configured to switch between a mutual capacitance touch sensing architecture and a self-capacitance touch sensing architecture is provided. The touch sensor panel includes circuitry that can switch the configuration of touch electrodes to act as either drive lines in a mutual capacitance configuration or as sense electrodes in a self-capacitance configuration. The touch sensor panel also includes circuitry that can switch the configuration of touch electrodes to act as either sense lines in a mutual capacitance configuration or as sense electrode in a self-capacitance configuration. By splitting a self-capacitance touch mode into a drive line self-capacitive mode and sense line self-capacitive mode, the touch sensor panel is able to reuse components thus requiring less space, weight and power.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to electronic devices with displays. A display may include an array of display pixels each having a drive transistor and an organic light-emitting diode. A pulse-width-modulated current may be provided to the organic light-emitting diode during each display frame to compensate for an on-bias compensation applied to the drive transistor between display frames. The pulse-width-modulated current may be provided with a pulse-width-modulation ratio that decreases over the course of each display frame. The decrease of the pulse-width-modulation ratio for each display frame may be determined based on a peak luminance for that display frame. The reduction in flicker provided by the pulse-width-modulated current may facilitate operation of the display with a reduced refresh rate, thereby reducing power consumption by the display.

Abstract: A touch screen display may include gate line driver circuitry coupled to a display pixel array. The display may be provided with intra-frame pausing (IFP) capabilities, where touch or other operations may be performed during one or more intra-frame blanking intervals. In one suitable arrangement, a gate driver may be operable in a high impedance mode, where the output of the gate driver is left floating during touch or IFP intervals. In another suitable arrangement, the gate driver may be operable in an IFP reduced stress mode, where a digital pass gate in the gate driver is deactivated during IFP intervals. In yet another suitable arrangement, the gate driver may be operable in an all-gate-high (AGH) power-down mode, where the output of each gate driver in the driver circuitry is driven high in parallel when the displayed is being powered off. These arrangements may be implemented in any suitable combination.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for mitigating visual artifacts by dynamically tuning bias voltages applied to display pixels. An electronic display may include a display pixel and a bias voltage supply. The bias voltage supply may supply a first bias voltage to the display pixel for a first subframe of a frame of image data. The bias voltage supply may supply a different second bias voltage to the display pixel for a second subframe of the frame of image data. This may mitigate certain image artifacts, such as flicker or variable refresh rate luminance difference, that could arise due to display pixel hysteresis that varies across subframes of the image frame.
