A device implementing a system for displaying an image includes a processor configured to, generate, during a first power state of a device, a data structure specifying image frames and a respective display time for each of the image frames, and retrieve, during a second power state of the device and from the data structure, an image frame based on the respective display time for the image frame. The at least one processor is further configured to display, during a third power state of the device, the retrieved image frame on a display of the device.

A system for monitoring displayed content, such as advertisements, has at least one sensor that is used to monitor an electronic display and provide information about the operation of the display, such as the content being displayed or whether one or more components of the display are operating correctly. The sensor is selected, positioned, and/or otherwise configured to limit the its ability to collect information in the environment surrounding the display so as to reduce concerns about the use of the sensor in a private or secure environment. The system may be used to confirm that the hardware of the display system is operating correctly and displaying the proper content at the proper times.

Embodiments of an apparatus for implementing a display port interface are disclosed. The apparatus may include a source processor and a sink processor coupled through an interface. The interface may include a primary link, an auxiliary link, and a hot plug detect link. The source processor may be operable to send a wake-up command to the sink processor via the auxiliary link. The source processor may send initialization parameters to the sink processor via the primary link. The initialization parameters may include a clock data recovery lock parameter and an idle parameter. Following the initialization parameters, the source processor may send a synchronization signal to the sink processor via the primary link. The source processor may then send a sleep command via the primary link to the sink processor.

A display device including a display portion, a source driver, a gate driver and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to control the source driver and the gate driver based on a control mode for displaying the frame image on the display portion, in a basic control mode, the controller is configured to display a frame image on the display portion by causing the gate driver to progressively scan gate signal lines, in a low frequency control mode, the controller is configured to determine whether a regional signal is on in a specific region corresponding to specific gate signal lines, when it is determined that the regional signal is off, the controller is configured to display a sub-frame image on the display portion by causing the gate driver to perform interlaced scanning of the gate signal lines every K lines in the first frame frequency F1.

A method, computer program product, and system for adjusting a dynamic refresh frequency of a display device are disclosed. The method includes the steps of obtaining a current frame duration associated with a first image, computing, based on the current frame duration, a repetition value for a second image, and repeating presentation of the second image on a display device based on the repetition value. The logic for implementing the method may be included in a graphics processing unit or within the display device itself.

A data processing apparatus comprises processing circuitry configured to predict whether a region of output data to be generated by the apparatus for a current set of output data will be similar to a region of output data generated and stored in memory for a previous set of output data. When it is predicted that the new region of output data will be similar to the previous region of output data, the new region of output data is prevented from being generated and the previous region of output data is used for the current set of output data instead. The data processing apparatus can provide a way to avoid generating areas of sets of output data that are static from one set of output data to the next.

The present image generator visually suppresses a gap between two adjacent reflective surfaces of a reflective display. The image generator comprises memory and a processor. The memory stores position of the gap on the reflective display. The processor analyses a stream of images to be displayed on the reflective display and determines corresponding lighting data alongside the gap. The processor further controls at least one lighting unit located behind a seam inserted in the gap based on the determined lighting data.

A method of driving a display panel includes determining a present polarity of a pixel data signal of a present frame, generating a first compensated grayscale of the pixel data signal of the present frame using a pixel data signal of a previous frame, the pixel data signal of the present frame, and the present polarity, and displaying an image using the first compensated grayscale. The first compensated grayscale varies according to the present polarity.

Systems and methods are provided for rendering of a dual eye-specific display. The system tracks the user's eye movements and/or positions, in some implementations, based on electroencephalography (EEG) of the user, to correctly label the central (foveal) and peripheral (extra-foveal) areas of the display. Foveal data is fully rendered while extra-foveal data is reduced in resolution and, in some implementations, shared between the two displays.

In a case where next image data, corresponding to a next screen, is not supplied from a host even when first predetermined time has elapsed since the first supply of image data was completed, the period control section (32) starts the second supply of the image data, of which the first supply has been carried out, to a liquid crystal display device. In a case where next image data, corresponding to a next frame, is not supplied from the host even when second predetermined time has elapsed since the second supply of the image data was completed, the period control section (32) starts the third supply of the image data to the liquid crystal display device, and sets the first predetermined time to be longer than the second predetermined time. This makes it possible to appropriately update a displayed image.
