A wearable computing device includes an outer covering, a housing, an electronic display configured to display an image, and a display drive integrated circuit (DDIC) comprising a processor and a memory device. The memory device(s) includes a blanking time programmed therein based on one or more parameters of the image and/or the DDIC, which generally refers to the time period in which the DDIC receives pixel data of the image from an external controller. The memory device stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations, including receiving an indication to rotate the image by a certain angle, upon receipt of the indication, starting to receive a transmission of the pixel data of the image from the external controller, and completing the transmission of the pixel data of the image during the blanking time and before the DDIC displays the image on the electronic display so as to avoid a tearing effect of the image on the electronic display.

Method for reducing or eliminating tearing effect of an image on a display of a wearable computing device

A disclosed example includes a plurality of display pixels; timing controller circuitry; driver circuitry on a same integrated circuit as the timing controller circuitry, the driver circuitry to drive the display pixels; and de-multiplexer circuitry to de-multiplex pixel data to send to the plurality of display pixels.

Display circuits

Method for reducing or eliminating tearing effect of an image on a display of wearable computing device

In some examples, a display includes a plurality of display pixels, an integrated timing controller and driver circuit to drive the display pixels, and a de-multiplexer circuit including one or more transistors coupled to the integrated timing controller and driver circuit and coupled to one or more of the plurality of display pixels.

Disclosed herein are techniques related to privacy at display devices. The techniques include an apparatus having an electroactive privacy layer of a display device. The electroactive privacy layer is configured to restrict a propagation direction of light emission associated with a display layer of the display device. The restriction of propagation is generated by micro louvers formed in the electroactive privacy layer.

Bridged micro louvers for active privacy screen

A mobile computing device comprising a Light Emitting Diode (LED) display; including a display panel and a substrate, and two or more controller integrated circuits mounted (ICs) mounted on the substrate to directly drive a serial interface into the display panel.

Micro LED display miniaturization mechanism

The system for image stream switching may include a processor, a display, and a storage. The system storage includes instructions that when executed on the processor, cause the processor to provide, to the display, a first image stream from a data comprising multiple simultaneous image streams comprising the first image stream and a second image stream, the first image stream comprising a first setting, the second image stream comprising a second setting distinct from the first setting. The example system includes a storage with instructions that when executed detect a signal to switch from the first setting to a third setting that is numerically between the first setting and the second setting. The example system includes a storage with instructions that when executed provide, to the display, a third stream generated from alternating frames from the first stream and the second stream.

Image stream switcher

A display panel with reduced power consumption is described. An example of the display panel includes an array of light emitting elements that are controllable to form an image, and a Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) backplane comprising circuitry to drive the array of light emitting elements. The TFT backplane includes a plurality of field effect transistors (FETs). Each FET includes a source electrode, a drain electrode, a channel layer contacting the source electrode and the drain electrode, and a gate electrode adjacent to the channel layer and separated from the channel layer by an insulator. The channel layer includes a layer of metal phosphide.

Techniques related to privacy at display devices are described herein. The techniques include an apparatus having an electroactive privacy layer of a display device. The electroactive privacy layer is configured to restrict a propagation direction of light emission associated with a display layer of the display device. The restriction of propagation is generated by an electric force applied to the electroactive privacy layer.
