Embodiments presented herein relate to reducing visual artifacts on an electronic display caused by an intra-frame pause. To do so, the intra-frame pause may be divided into smaller intra-frame pause segments. The intra-frame pause segments may be applied to the display during different image frames and/or at different locations on the electronic display. For example, each intra-frame pause segment may be applied to a different location on the electronic display. In some embodiments, multiple intra-frame pause segments may be applied during a single image frame. In some embodiments, the intra-frame pause segments may be applied to various image frames and at various location on the electronic display according to a pattern. To reduce band flickering that may be caused by the different locations of the intra-frame pause segments, an emission duty of one or more rows of pixels of the display may be adjusted.

A method for driving an active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display. The method may be used to digitally drive the AMOLED display in a way that limits the susceptibility of the AMOLED display to certain problems arising out of digital driving techniques, such as image sticking or low display lifetimes. The method involves generating compensation factors corresponding to each pixel of the display and using those compensation factors to control the illumination of the display. The aspects of the method that incorporate the operation point for generating a compensation factor may also be applied to analog driving of AMOLED displays.
