Display structures and methods of manufacture of display structure including a display panel with a curved three-dimensional film contour are described. In an embodiment, a display panel includes display area with a main body area and a plurality of petals extending from the main body area. The petals are folded into a curved three-dimensional (3D) film contour, and are separated by corresponding trenches between petals. The trenches may be filled with various seam hiding materials to visually obscure the trenches.

Display structure for electronic devices

A display system of a display includes a first light emitting diode, a second light emitting diode, a current source, and at least one transistor. The first and the second light emitting diodes emit light. The current source provides a constant current to the first light emitting diode and the second light emitting diode. Moreover, the at least one transistor removes the current or shunts the current towards the first light emitting diode, the second light emitting diode, or both. Removing the current or shunting the current towards the first light emitting diode, the second light emitting diode, or both, may blend outputs of the first light emitting diode and the second light emitting diode.

Super pixel architecture for high dynamic range

A pulse width modulation and amplitude modulation driving system for a display panel, including related circuits and methods of operation, are described. In an embodiment, a display panel includes a thin film transistor layer comprising a plurality of subpixel circuits. Each subpixel circuit may include a drive transistor, a comparator, and a switch. A plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), such as micro-LEDs, may be connected to the plurality of subpixel circuits. Each subpixel circuit can control an LED based on a current amplitude controlled by the drive transistor and a current pulse width controlled by the comparator and the switch. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

A display system of a display includes multiple primary light emitting diodes and multiple secondary light emitting diodes. The multiple primary light emitting diodes may emit light, in which at least a first primary light emitting diode of the multiple primary light emitting diodes is shorted. Moreover, the multiple secondary light emitting diodes may emit light. At least a first secondary light emitting diode of the multiple secondary light emitting diodes is associated with the first primary light emitting diode, and the first secondary light emitting diode may emit light based at least in part on the first primary light emitting diode being shorted.

Tandem micro-light emitting diode redundancy architecture

Display panel redundancy schemes and redundancy building blocks are described. In an embodiment, pixel driver chips are connected to both primary and redundant strings of LEDs within a local passive matrix, and driver terminal switches within the pixel driver chip are used to select either the primary or redundant strings of LEDs.
