Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Devices and methods for reducing a variation in voltage perturbation between common voltage layers (VCOMs) of a display in response to voltage interference are provided. In one example, a resistive element may be coupled to one of several VCOMs to increase the resistance value of the VCOM. The resistive element may cause a variation in voltage perturbations between the several VCOMs to become generally more uniform, thereby reducing or eliminating certain image artifacts.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electronic display comprising: a first pixel comprising a first common voltage layer (VCOM layer), wherein the first VCOM layer is configured to experience a first voltage perturbation in response to a pixel deactivation signal; a second pixel comprising a second VCOM layer, wherein the second VCOM layer is configured to experience a second voltage perturbation in response to the pixel deactivation signal; and a resistive device configured to be coupl…
