Electronic Devices With Display Burn-in Mitigation

An electronic device such as a wristwatch device or other device may have a display. The display may be used to continuously display information such as watch face information. A watch face image on the display may contain watch face elements such as watch face hands, watch face indices, and complications. To reduce burn-in risk for watch face elements, control circuitry in the electronic device may impose burn-in constraints on attributes of the watch face elements such as peak luminance constraints, dwell time constraints, color constraints, constraints on the shape of each element, and constraints on element style. These constraints may help avoid situations in which static elements such as watch face indices create more burn-in than dynamic elements such as watch face hands.

Display of a virtual keyboard on a supplemental physical display plane surrounding a primary physical display plane on a wearable mobile device

Display of supplemental content on a smartwatch wearable mobile device. A method establishes, on supplemental physical display plane(s) of a smartwatch wearable mobile device, virtual display plane(s). The smartwatch includes a primary physical display plane and the supplemental physical display plane(s). The supplemental physical display plane(s) at least partially surround the primary physical display plane. The method displays primary content on the primary physical display plane and supplemental content on the virtual display plane(s). The method also receives touch sensor input from a touch sensor of the smartwatch and maps the touch sensor input to interface element(s) of the supplemental content on the virtual display plane(s). The method selects the interface element(s) based on the mapping the touch sensor input to the interface element.
