A display system may include a plurality of light emitting diodes to emit light, where each of the light emitting diodes are connected in parallel and a plurality of first switches respectively coupled to the plurality of light emitting diodes. A first switch of the plurality of first switches is coupled in parallel to a first light emitting diode. The first switch may short the first light emitting diode of the plurality of light emitting diodes through a defined resistor having a defined value that therefore draws a defined short circuit current.

Systems and methods for mitigating micro-LED failures

Electronic devices, displays, and methods are provided for performing row shuffling to reduce an appearance of image artifacts during eye movements such as saccades. An electronic display may include a number of rows of display pixels and driving circuitry to drive the rows of pixels. The driving circuitry may spatially shuffle or temporally shuffle, or both spatially and temporally shuffle, a row order of driving the rows of display pixels.

Emission row shuffling for pulsed electronic displays

Electronic devices, displays, and methods are provided for operating an electronic display in coexistence with sensors that could be adversely impacted by the operation of the electronic display. An electronic device may include an electronic display and a sensor. The electronic display may display image content by light emission during an emission period and periodically enter a quiet period in which the light emission of the electronic display is turned off. The sensor may perform sensing operations during the quiet period without interference from the operation of the electronic display.

Hybrid architectures and method methods of operating a display panel are described. In an embodiment, row driver and pixel driver functions are combined in a group of backbone hybrid pixel driver chips, wherein global signal lines are distributed to the backbone hybrid pixel driver chips, where the global signals are manipulated and distributed to a row of pixel driver chips.

Hybrid architecture for zero border display

An integrated touchscreen can include light emitting diodes or organic light emitting diodes (LEDs/OLEDs), display chiplets and touch chiplets disposed in a visible area of the integrated touch screen. For example, the LEDs/OLEDs, display chiplets and touch chiplets can be placed on a substrate by a micro-transfer tool. The integrated touchscreen can also include electrodes disposed in the visible area of the integrated touch screen. The electrodes can be capable of providing display functionality via the one or more display chiplets during display operation (e.g., operating as cathode terminals of the LEDs during the display operation) and capable of providing touch functionality via the touch chiplets during touch operation (e.g., touch node electrodes can be formed from groups of the electrodes and sensed). In some examples, the touch node electrodes can be formed and coupled to touch chiplets via the display chiplets.
