Abstract:

An electronic device that includes processing circuitry configured to generate a frame of image data that has a frame duration is provided. The electronic device includes a display that has a plurality of pixels. Each of the plurality of pixels displays image data from the frame of image data for a pixel emission period that is less than the frame duration. A first pixel of a column of pixels of the plurality of pixels begins displaying the image data from the frame of image data at a first time for a first duration. A second pixel of the column of pixels that is adjacent to the first pixel begins displaying the image data from the frame of image data at a second time for a second duration. The first and second durations are equal to the pixel emission period. The second time begins after the first duration of time.
