Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated with backlight illumination from a direct-lit backlight unit. The backlight unit may include an array of light-emitting diodes on a printed circuit board. The backlight unit may include first, second, and third light spreading layers formed over the array of light-emitting diodes. A color conversion layer may be formed over the first, second, and third light spreading layers. First and second brightness enhancement films may be formed over the color conversion layer.

Abstract: Front-of-screen performance of the electronic display may be highly sensitive to timing settings of emission and anode reset frequencies. Changes in the timing settings may result in diverging brightness and color performance on the electronic display, which may negatively impact user experience. In some cases, emission frequency of the self-emissive display pixels may be fixed at a value, such as 120 Hertz (Hz), 240 Hz, or 480 Hz. The anode reset frequency may be set at a divisor of the emission frequency. Some refresh rates may be divisors of the pixel emission frequency. However, other refresh rates may not be divisors of the pixel emission frequency. For such non-divisor refresh rates, different driving schemes may be used to compensate for a difference from the pixel emission frequency.

Abstract: An electronic device may include display layers such as liquid crystal display layers and a backlight unit that provides illumination for the display layers. The backlight unit may include light-emitting diodes that emit light into the edge of a light guide film. To minimize the inactive area of the display, the light-emitting diodes may be tightly spaced to approximate a line light source instead of point light sources. Color and/or luminance compensation layers may be incorporated at various locations within the backlight structures to ensure that the backlight provided to the display layers is homogenous. A thin-film transistor layer of the display may be coupled to a printed circuit board by a flexible printed circuit. The flexible printed circuit may have additional solder mask layers to improve robustness, may include encapsulation, and may have traces with a varying pitch.
