1. An electronic device comprising:
an electronic display configured to display image content by light emission during an emission period and periodically enter a quiet period in which the light emission of the electronic display is turned off; and
a plurality of sensors configured to perform sensing operations during the quiet period without interference from the electronic display;
wherein the electronic display is configured to, before exiting the quiet period:
switch anodes of display pixels of the electronic display to a reset voltage while cathodes of the display pixels are electrically floating;
couple the cathodes of the display pixels to a bias voltage to prevent light emission; and
switch anodes of the display pixels away from the reset voltage.
