Abstract
This publication describes systems and techniques for improving the appearance of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays in a darkened state (e.g., display off conditions) to reduce color variances. Variations in polarizing materials used in a circular polarizer layer toward the face of a display panel may result in perceived color variance between different models of the same device as a result of ambient light being reflected through the circular polarizer when the display panel is in a darkened state. In aspects, components or layers within the display panel are replaced with less reflective materials and/or are covered with light-absorbing material. As a result, because less ambient light is reflected by layers or components within the display panel, the “ultra-dark” OLED panel reflects less ambient light, which may result in less perceived color variance when the display panel is in a darkened state.
