Effective series resistance display sensing

Abstract:

Methods and systems for compensating display panel operations providing a current from power circuitry over a first path between a display panel and the power circuitry are provided. A sensing current may be injected into the first path via a second path between the power circuitry and the first path. An equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the first path may be calculated using a third path and the sensing current. A processor may compensate for electrical fluctuations from the power circuitry to the display panel based at least in part on the measured ESR.
