Abstract

A display may have an array of pixels to display images. Gate line driver circuitry may have stages that supply gate line signals. A gate line may be located in each row of the pixels. Each stage may have an output block that produces a respective one of the gate line signals and may have a carry block that separately produces a carry signal that is provided to a later stage in the gate line driver circuitry. A memory may be provided in at least some of the stages to store signals produced by the output blocks during intraframe pausing operations. At the end of an intraframe pause, the stored signals may be used in restarting production of the gate line signals by output blocks in the gate line driver stages. Circuitry may be used to separately reset the output block and suppress carry signal production by the carry block.
