A compliant support for a display device is described. In one or more implementations, an apparatus includes an external enclosure configured to assume a mobile computing device configuration and one or more computing components secured by and disposed within the external enclosure. The one or more computing components are configured to perform one or more operations that are specified by software. A display device is secured to the external enclosure such that the display device is viewable by a user, the display device supporting touchscreen functionality. A compliant support is disposed between the one or more computing components and the display device, the compliant support configured to reduce deflection of the display device by compression of the compliant support, the deflection caused in response to contact against a surface of the display device.

Compliant support for a display device

An electronic device includes a display and a processor coupled to the display. The display includes a plurality of zones distributed over a viewable display area. The processor is configured to (1) obtain source data for the image to be displayed in the viewable area of the display, (2) analyze the source data in selected zones of the plurality of zones to determine at least one characteristic of the image in each selected zone, and (3) adjust, separately in each zone of the plurality of zones, at least one type of subpixel in the subpixel matrix based on determined characteristics of the image in the selected, analyzed zones.

Local pixel luminance adjustments

A display includes first and second substrates spaced apart from one another, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) structure supported by the first substrate, and a plurality of thin film structures supported by the first substrate, the plurality of thin film structures including a drive circuit element and a reflective element, the drive circuit element arranged in drive circuitry electrically coupled to the OLED structure, the drive circuitry configured to control the OLED structure. The display further includes an optical switch stack disposed between the second substrate and the plurality of thin film structures, the optical switch stack including a color filter positioned relative to the reflective element such that ambient light reflecting off of the reflective circuit element passes through the color filter.
