Grouped display gate scanning in foveated resolution displays

Abstract

Embodiments relate to a display device having a display area with a plurality of rows of pixels. Multiple rows of the display area may be grouped such that data is written to the pixels of all rows of the grouping concurrently. Each row includes a respective gate scan driver circuit coupled to the gate line of the row, and to a gate scan line configured to sequentially provide an enable pulse to gate scan driver circuits of the plurality of rows over a plurality of time periods. The gate scan driver circuit selectively provides the enable pulse provided by the gate scan line or a gate enable signal of a gate line of an adjacent row as a gate enable signal to the gate line of the respective row, based upon a predetermined grouping of rows of the display device.
