Digital driving circuits, methods and systems for display devices

A method may include generating display driver signals that vary between only two levels and applying the display driver signals to opposing electrodes of a display segment within a display device. An intrinsic capacitance of the display device filters the display driver signals to generate different analog signal levels at the display segment of the display device. The method varies the pulse density of the display driver signals to select or de-select the display segment based on an average voltage magnitude across the display segment over a time period. The display segment is activated when the average voltage magnitude exceeds a threshold value.

OPTICALLY DETERMINING MESSAGES ON A DISPLAY
20170301273 · 2017-10-19 · ·

A verifiable display is provided that enables the visual content of the display to be detected and confirmed in a variety of ambient lighting conditions, enviroments, and operational states. In particular, the verifiable display has a display layer that is capable of visually setting an intended message for human or machine reading, with the intendended message being set using pixels. Depending on the operational condition of the display and the ambient light, for example, the message that is actually displayed and perceivable may vary from the intended message. To detect what message is actually displayed, a light detection layer in the verifiable display detects the illumination state of the pixels, and in that way is able to detect what message is actually being presented by the display layer.
