Visual artifacts in a display are reduced by moving, to the extent possible, display driver components to the display surface itself, thereby shortening conductor distances and reducing the parasitic effects caused by parasitic resistance of the conductors between the display power supply and the display, and between the stabilizing capacitors and the display. To avoid interference with the device housing, low-profile driver components, including either or both of stabilizing capacitors and power supply terminals, can be provided and bonded to the surface of the display side of the outer layer of the display. Alternatively, the stabilizing capacitors can be formed on the display side in the same way that, e.g., in an LCD display, the transparent electrodes for controlling the liquid crystals are formed.
A display for an electronic device, the display comprising:
An electronic device comprising:
A method of forming a display for an electronic device so as to reduce parasitic artifacts on the display, wherein the display has (a) a transparent layer having display elements mounted thereon and having a display side facing outwardly of the device, and (b) driver circuitry for the display elements;
A method of operating a display for an electronic device so as to reduce parasitic artifacts on the display, wherein the display has (a) a transparent layer having display elements mounted thereon and having a display side facing outwardly of the device, and (b) driver circuitry for the display elements including, on the display side of the transparent layer, (a) stabilizing capacitors, (b) terminals for connecting supply voltages from the driver circuitry to the display elements, and (c) programmable switches for programmably connecting respective ones of the terminals to respective ones of the stabilizing capacitors;
