Electronic device having display circuitry with rounded corners

Abstract:

A display may have display driver circuitry. Signal routing lines may supply multiplexed signals from the display driver circuitry to demultiplexer circuitry. The demultiplexer circuitry may provide corresponding demultiplexed signals to the pixels over signal routing lines. The demultiplexer circuitry may have demultiplexer circuit blocks such as 1:N demultiplexer circuit blocks. Each of the demultiplexer circuit blocks may have the same area and layout. The demultiplexer circuit blocks may run across the width of the display. A first portion of the demultiplexer circuit blocks may extend in a straight line parallel to an edge of the active area. A second portion of the demultiplexer circuit blocks may be arranged in a staircase pattern that angles away from the first portion of demultiplexer circuit blocks.
