A method for operating a display having a plurality of pixel elements includes applying a transition voltage to the plurality of pixel elements, applying a first paint voltage to one pixel element of the plurality pixel elements, waiting a predetermined time period, illuminating the one pixel element, applying the transition voltage to the plurality of pixel elements, applying a second paint voltage to the one pixel element elements, waiting the predetermined time period, and illuminating the one pixel element. The transition voltage is different from the first paint voltage applied to the one pixel element.

Method and apparatus for enhanced performance liquid crystal displays

A method for operating a display having substrates and a plurality of capacitors formed at predetermined locations between the substrates includes measuring a capacitance for each of the plurality of capacitors, determining a cell gap for each of the plurality of capacitors in response to the capacitance for each of the plurality of capacitors, determining a cell gap relationship between the substrates in response to the cell gap for each of the plurality of capacitors and in response to the predetermined locations on the display, and determining a first intensity compensating value for a first pixel on an active region of the display in response to the cell gap relationship between the substrates and in response to a location of the first pixel on the display.

Substrate cell-gap compensation apparatus and method

A system having a display including display circuitry operating at a resonant frequency includes a tunable component, a resonant driver circuit coupled to the tunable component and to the display circuitry, for driving the display circuitry at an output frequency, a power consumption sensor coupled to the resonant driver circuit, for determining the power consumption of the resonant driver circuit, and a control logic coupled to the tunable component and to the power dissipation sensor, for monitoring the power consumption of the resonant driver circuit and for tuning the tunable component in response to the power consumption.
