20210201731 | DYNAMIC SCREEN REFRESH RATE FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - Methods, systems, and devices that support a dynamic screen refresh rate are described. An electronic device may dynamically (e.g., autonomously, while operating) adjust the rate at which a screen is refreshed, such as to balance considerations such as user experience and power consumption by the electronic device. For example, the electronic device may use an increased refresh rate when executing applications for which user experience is enhanced by a higher refresh rate and may use a decreased refresh rate when executing other applications. As another example, the electronic device may use different refresh rates while executing different portions of the same application, as some aspects of an application (e.g., more intense portions of a video game) may benefit more than others from a higher refresh rate. The electronic device may also account of rother factors, such as battery level, when setting or adjusting the refresh rate of the screen. | 2021-07-01 |

20210201733 | DUAL SOURCE DRIVERS, DISPLAY DEVICES HAVING THE SAME, AND METHODS OF OPERATING THE SAME - TA dual source driver includes first and second gamma voltage generators configured to generate first and second gamma voltages, respectively, first and second latches configured to latch first and second data, respectively, a first driving cell configured to receive the first gamma voltage and the first data, and to transmit a first voltage corresponding to the first data and the first gamma voltage to a panel load based on a first switching operation, and a second driving cell configured to receive the second gamma voltage and the second data, and to transmit a second voltage corresponding to the second data and the second gamma voltage to the panel load based on a second switching operation. The first switching operation and the second switching operation may operate complementarily to each other. | 2021-07-01 |
20210201734 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device includes a timing controller which supplies a clock training signal through a data clock signal line and a first control signal through a shared signal line in a first period of one frame, and supplies image data through the data clock signal line in a second period of the one frame, a data driver provided with data driving circuits which generate a clock signal based on the clock training signal and the first control signal in the first period, and generate data voltages based on the clock signal and the image data in the second period, and a pixel part which receives the data voltages from the data driver. The data driver may supply a second control signal indicating a reception state of the data driver to the timing controller through the shared signal line in the second period. | 2021-07-01 |
