Display driver circuitry for electro-optic displays, in particular active
matrix displays using organic light emitting diodes. The circuitry
includes a driver to drive an electro-optic element in accordance with a
drive voltage, a photosensitive device optically coupled to the
electro-optic display element to pass a current dependent upon
illumination reaching the photosensitive device, a first control device
coupled between the photosensitive device and a data line and responsive
to a first control signal on a first control line to couple the
photosensitive device to the data line, and a second control device
coupled between the photosensitive device and the driver and responsive
to a second control signal on a second control line to couple the
photosensitive device to the driver. The circuit can be operated in a
number of different modes and provides flexible control of an
electro-display element such as an organic LED pixel.
