    Abstract: Methods and systems for compensating for VCOM variations include determining a voltage change in pixels between frames to be displayed on an electronic display. Based on the determined voltage change, VCOM variation is calculated based on coupling the VCOM to one or more data lines of the electronic display. VCOM compensation is determined and applied to offset for the VCOM variation. Using the VCOM offset, subsequent pixel content for the one or more pixels is written using the compensated VCOM.

    Abstract: A display device may include a source line that provides a data line signal to a pixel of the display device, a gate line that provides a gate signal to a switches associated with the pixel, and a voltage gate line disposed parallel to the source line and coupled to the gate line at a cross point node. The display device may also include a driver circuit that receives a pixel value to provide to the pixel, determines a compensation amount for the pixel value based on an expected kickback voltage present on the pixel due to a coupling effect between the source line and the voltage gate line, generates a compensated data line signal based on the compensation value and the pixel value, and provides the compensated data line signal to the pixel via the source line.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving displayed image quality of an electronic display with reduced power consumption. In some embodiments, a display pixel in the electronic display includes a pixel electrode and a common electrode. A pixel electrode driver electrically coupled to the first display pixel writes the display pixel by supplying a pixel voltage signal to the pixel electrode. A common electrode driver electrically coupled to the common electrode includes a power amplifier that supplies a common voltage signal to the common electrode to predictively offset net charge accumulation expected in the common electrode; a first power supply rail selectively connectable to the power amplifier based on a target voltage of the common voltage signal; and a second power supply rail selectively connectable to the power amplifier based on the target voltage, in which the first and second power supply rails supply different voltages when connected.

    Abstract: This application relates to systems, methods, and apparatus for compensating voltage for pixels of a display panel based on the location of the pixels within the display panel. An amount of voltage compensation is assigned to each pixel or a group of pixels within the display panel in accordance with a calibration of the display panel. During operation of the display panel, pixel data is generated for a location of the display panel, and the pixel data is modified according to the amount of voltage compensation corresponding to the location. By modifying the pixel data in this way, spatial variations in voltage across the display panel can be mitigated in order to reduce the occurrence of certain display artifacts at the display panel.
