Electronic displays are found in numerous electronic devices, from mobile phones to computers, televisions, automobile dashboards, and many more. Electronic displays have achieved increasingly higher resolutions by reducing individual pixel size. Yet increasing resolutions may increase a difficulty associated with managing an increased amount of image data associated with the increased resolutions processed by processing circuitry prior to displaying an image, for example, by causing increased power consumption from processing increased amounts of image data. Furthermore, the increasing resolutions may increase a bandwidth used to communicate image data from the processing circuitry to a pixel array for presentation of the image because more image data is used to communicate the same image at a higher electronic display resolution.
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for implementing memory-in-pixel circuitry that may be used as an individual frame buffer for each pixel, which may reduce reliance on a frame buffer external to a pixel array and driving circuitry of an electronic display. Memory may be implemented in pixel circuitry that includes a light-emitting diode (LED). An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) represents one type of LED that may be found in the pixel, but other types of LEDs may also be used or light-emitting components may be used in the pixel circuitry, such as components to support liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels, and/or dot-matrix displays.
