SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING IMAGE QUALITY OF A DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A display apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of common lines;
a plurality of segment lines, wherein each segment line includes a first data line and a second data line configured to apply different data signals; and
a plurality of display elements, wherein each display element is in electrical communication with one of the plurality of common lines and one of the plurality of segment lines;
wherein the connection between the first data line of a first segment line and a first set of display elements along the first segment line is structurally different from the connection between the second data line of the first segment line and a second set of display elements along the first segment line; and
wherein at least some of the structural differences are positioned such that they do not cause substantial differences in visual appearance between display elements of the same color, or at least some of the structural differences alternate at a rate such that any differences in visual appearance are not visually resolvable by a viewer.

Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for writing data to a display. In one aspect, the display includes an array of display elements arranged at the intersection of a plurality of common lines and segment lines. The display also includes a common driver and a segment driver coupled to the common lines and segment lines. According to one aspect, the display includes a greater number of segment lines than columns of display elements in the array. According to another aspect, the display may also include a first number of display element segment electrodes that are coupled to each other along a first common line, and a second number of display element segment electrodes coupled to each other along a second common line, where the first number is different than the second number.

17. A method of manufacturing a display, the method comprising:
-
forming a plurality of segment lines, each segment line having a first data line and a second data line configured to apply different data signals; forming a first connection between the first data line of a first segment line and a first set of display elements along the first segment line; and forming a second connection between the second data line of the first segment line and a second set of display elements along the first segment line, the second connection structurally different from the first connection, wherein at least some of the structural differences are positioned such that they do not cause substantial differences in visual appearance between display elements of the same color, or at least some of the structural differences alternate at a rate such that any differences in visual appearance are not visually resolvable by a viewer. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A display apparatus comprising:
-
a plurality of common lines; a plurality of segment lines, wherein each segment line includes a first data line and a second data line configured to apply different data signals; and a plurality of display elements, wherein each display element is in electrical communication with one of the plurality of common lines and one of the plurality of segment lines; first connection means for electrically connecting the first data line of a first segment line and a first set of display elements along the first segment line; and second connection means for electrically connecting the second data line of the first segment line and a second set of display elements along the first segment line, wherein the first connection means is structurally different from the second connection means, and wherein at least some of the structural differences are positioned such that they do not cause substantial differences in visual appearance between display elements of the same color, or at least some of the structural differences alternate at a rate such that any differences in visual appearance are not visually resolvable by a viewer. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
