Abstract: An electronic device may include a display and an optical sensor formed underneath the display. The electronic device may include a plurality of transparent windows that overlap the optical sensor. The resolution of the display panel may be reduced in some areas due to the presence of the transparent windows. To prevent a visible border between the reduced resolution areas of the display and full resolution areas of the display, uniformity compensation circuitry may be used to compensate pixel data. The uniformity compensation circuitry may output compensated pixel data for the display using one or more compensation maps that include compensation factors associated with pixel locations. The uniformity compensation circuitry may also use region-specific gamma look-up tables to apply different gamma curves to pixels in different regions of the display. The uniformity compensation circuitry may also be used to form a transition region between different regions of the display.

Abstract: Devices and methods are provided to overdrive or underdrive a display panel to account for display pixel hysteresis due to several frames of pixel history. An electronic device may include an electronic display and processing circuitry. The electronic display includes a number of display pixels. The processing circuitry may generate image data for the display pixels. The processing circuitry may receive a current frame value of the image data targeted for a first display pixel and, based at least in part on the current frame value and a pixel history of the first display pixel—may indicate a gray level for a number of previous frames—generate a compensated value by which to drive the first pixel to overcome pixel hysteresis to reach the desired luminance at an initial response.

Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display having multiple pixels to display an image based on processed image data. Each of the pixels may include multiple sub-pixels. The electronic device may also include image processing circuitry to receive input image data, in a first color space, having luminance values for each of the sub-pixels. The circuitry may also map the input image data from the first color space to a second color space and apply a multi-dimensional lookup table, based on the input image data in the second color space, to generate compensated image data. The lookup table may receive the luminance values for each of the sub-pixels and output corrected luminance values compensated for an expected amount of current leakage between the sub-pixels. The circuitry may also inversely map the compensated image data from the second color space to the first color space to generate the processed image data.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to pulsed backlight operation for a display backlight. Backlight pulse patterns are provided that include steady state pulse patterns to be applied during operation of a liquid crystal display unit of the display at a corresponding frame rate. The backlight pulse patterns can be arranged to prevent visible artifacts such as flicker or strobing, particularly at or near a transition between LCD frame rates. In some scenarios, transition pulse patterns are provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods reduce likelihood of hysteresis that reduces perceived image quality of a subsequent image frame by toggling the display pixels to relax the display pixels by overwriting previous image frame data. During non-emission periods of the pixels, the pixels may be pre-toggled or exercised to improve response time and accuracy of the pixel. Data for pixels being programmed may also be used to pre-toggle other pixels reducing overhead but increasing cross-talk. Since the amount of cross-talk is related to content of the pixels being pre-toggled, a line buffer may be used to store image data for the pixels being pre-toggled. This stored image data may be used to determine how much pre-compensation is to be applied to data for the pixels being programmed. In other words, an amount of compensation applied is based at least in part on the content (e.g., greyscale levels) of the image data.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display. A protective display cover layer for the display may tend to dim pixels near the edge of the display. Control circuitry in the electronic device may boost luminance for pixels in an edge region of a displayed image relative to a center region of the image. This ensures that image brightness does not vary across the image. The control circuitry may include a graphics processing unit, a pixel pipeline implemented in a system-on-chip circuit block, and a display drive circuit block. Luminance compensation may be implemented in the system-on-chip block and/or in the display driver circuit block.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display that is configured to show content that includes a plurality of frames. The plurality of frames includes a first frame that is associated with a pre-transition value. The plurality of frames also includes a second frame that is associated with a current frame value that corresponds to a first luminance. Additionally, the electronic device is configured to determine an overdriven current frame value corresponding to a second luminance that is greater than the first luminance. The electronic device is also configured to display the second frame using the overdriven current frame value.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a display. Control circuitry may operate the display at different frame rates such as 60 Hz, 80 Hz, and 120 Hz. The control circuitry may determine which frame rate to use based on a speed of animation on the display and based on a type of animation on the display. To mitigate the appearance of judder as the display frame rate changes, the control circuitry may implement techniques such as hysteresis (e.g., windows of tolerance around speed thresholds to ensure that the display frame rate does not change too frequently as a result of noise), speed thresholds that are based on a user perception study, consistent latency between touch input detection and corresponding display output across different frame rates (e.g., using a fixed touch scan rate that is independent of frame duration), and animation-specific speed thresholds for triggering frame rate changes.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an ambient light sensor, a display that displays image content, and control circuitry. The control circuitry may adjust a peak allowable brightness of the display based on an ambient light brightness and based on the image content being displayed. For example, the control circuitry may analyze frames of display data to determine an average pixel luminance level. Low average pixel luminance levels correspond to mostly dark image content, whereas high average pixel luminance levels correspond to mostly light image content. When an electronic device is outdoors and displaying mostly dark images with low average pixel luminance levels, the control circuitry may take advantage of the display's maximum achievable brightness to improve readability. When an electronic device is outdoors and displaying mostly light images with high average pixel luminance levels, the control circuitry may scale the maximum allowable brightness down to reduce power consumption.
