An active matrix display where in one embodiment each cell comprises: a driving circuit for providing current to light emitting devices placed in the cell under the control of a data driver signal, a first light emitting device location connected to the driving circuit and a second light emitting device location connected in series to the first light emitting device location. A first thin-film transistor (TFT) is connected in parallel with the first light emitting device location and a second TFT is connected in parallel with the second light emitting device location, its gate node connected to the gate node of the first TFT. One terminal of a third TFT is connected to the gate nodes of the first and second TFTs and selectively connects a control signal to the first and second TFTs under the control of a scan driver signal. The control signal determines which of a first or second light emitting device placed in the cell emits light when the driving circuit provides current.

A method for operating a bidirectional display comprising a substrate, on which a display array consisting of a multiplicity of light-generating image elements and a sensor array consisting of a multiplicity of light-detecting elements are formed, each light-detecting element being assigned at least one light-generating image element, and each light-detecting element having at least a photodetector, a reset switch, a transfer switch, a memory and a select switch. The exposure phase of a light-detecting element between two successive readout phases of the light-detecting element is in this case subdivided into at least two exposure subphases chronologically separated from one another, and the at least one light-generating image element assigned to the light-detecting element is activated at least temporarily between the two exposure subphases of the light-detecting element.

The display driving device includes: a grouper that performs grouping of a plurality of light emitting elements (for example, light emitting elements arranged on a scanning line (for example, a scanning line of the display into one or more light emitting element groups (for example, light emitting element groups based on video information input; and a driver (for example, a cathode driver that drives the one or more light emitting element groups so that driving periods do not overlap.

Variance in luminance deterioration in a display is suppressed. A display device in which a self-illuminating display element is used to display information comprises a display component in which are disposed a plurality of pixels made up of a plurality of colors of sub-pixels, and a controller for controlling the drive of the display component. The controller records an accumulated luminance for each sub-pixel, and calculates a luminance adjustment amount for each sub-pixel based on the difference between the accumulated luminance values. The controller also detects when no one is viewing the display device, produces a corrected image according to the luminance adjustment amount, and displays the corrected image on the display component while no one is viewing the display device.

A display device provides pulse width modulation (PWM) control of pixels using comparator circuits within each pixel. The display device includes a display panel and a row driver connected to the display panel. The row driver includes a counter configured to generate count bit values for subframes of a pulse width modulation (PWM) frame. The display panel includes pixels, each pixel including a comparator circuit and a light emitting diode. The comparator circuit includes a dynamic comparison node. The comparator circuit is configured to generate comparison results at the dynamic comparison node by comparing the count bit values of the subframes and data bit values of a control word defining a brightness level of the pixel for the PWM frame. The LED is configured to turn on or off responsive to the comparison results at the dynamic comparison node.
