A display may include an array of pixels. Each pixel in the array includes an organic light-emitting diode coupled to a drive transistor, a data loading transistor, a first capacitor for storing data charge, and a second capacitor. During a data programming phase, the data loading transistor may be activated to load in a data value onto the first capacitor. After the data programming phase, the second capacitor may be configured to receive a lower voltage, which extends a threshold voltage sampling time for the pixel. Configured and operated in this way, the temperature luminance sensitivity of the display can be reduced.

Displays with reduced temperature luminance sensitivity

A system includes an electronic display panel that has a plurality of pixels configured to depict frames of image data. The electronic display also includes display driver circuitry configured to, for a first frame of image data representing first image content, modify a gate-to-source voltage of a transistor of a first pixel of the plurality of pixels to a content-dependent first gate-to-source voltage. Additionally, after modifying the gate-to-source voltage to the first gate-to-source voltage, the display driver circuitry is configured to program the first pixel by modifying the gate-to-source voltage to a gate-to-source programming voltage that differs from the first gate-to-source voltage and is based on image data associated with the pixel from the first frame of the image data. Furthermore, the display driver circuitry is configured to cause the plurality of pixels to emit light.

Systems and methods for performing in-frame cleaning

A display may include an array of pixels, where each pixel in the array includes an organic light-emitting diode coupled to a drive transistor and other associated thin-film transistors. The array may be grouped into column pairs, where each column pair includes a first pixel column and a second pixel column that is mirrored with respect to the first pixel column. The drive transistors within each column pair may be formed towards the center of that column pair, whereas the data lines associated with that column pair may be formed along the outer peripheral edges of that column pair. Configured in this way, parasitic coupling between the data lines and any sensitive/floating nodes of the drive transistor may be substantially reduced, which mitigates pixel column crosstalk and ensures luminance uniformity across the display.

A computer stick docking system and a power management method thereof are provided. The computer stick docking system includes a docking station and a computer stick device. The docking station is configured to receive a display device and a computer stick device, including a docking battery and a docking HDMI interface circuit. The computer stick device includes a computer-stick controller and a computer-stick HDMI interface circuit. The computer-stick controller is configured to load an operating system. The computer-stick HDMI interface circuit, coupled to the computer-stick controller, is configured to request battery power information of the docking battery from the docking station after it is powered on and the computer-stick HDMI interface circuit is connected to the docking station.
