An image controller includes: a first semiconductor circuit configured to generate a third compensation data obtained by applying a first image compensation to an input image data; a second semiconductor circuit configured to generate a first compensation data obtained by applying a second image compensation different from the first image compensation to the input image data; and a sensing unit configured to generate a temperature sensing data by measuring a temperature of the second semiconductor circuit. The first semiconductor circuit determines whether an operation of the second semiconductor circuit is to be off based on the temperature sensing data.

Systems and methods for improving perceived image quality with reduced implementation associated cost and/or improved operational efficiency. A display pipeline includes an input buffer that stores input image data corresponding with an image pixel window, in which the input image data has a first bit-depth and includes image data corresponding with an image pixel in the image pixel window. The display pipeline includes bit-depth adjustment circuitry, which includes a neural network that operates based on a set of bit-depth adjustment parameters to process the input image data to determine whether banding greater than a perceivability threshold is expected to result when the image is displayed directly using the input image data with the first bit-depth and to process the image data corresponding with the image pixel to expand the image data from the first bit-depth to a second bit-depth when the banding visual artifact is greater than the perceivability threshold.

A timing controller, a display device, an apparatus and a method for controlling a refresh rate are disclosed. The method can include, receiving a frame of image data from a processor; determining whether the frame of image data passes a dynamic image verification; and in response to determining that the frame of image data passes the dynamic image verification, outputting the frame of image data so as to refresh a display image of the display panel once, or in response to determining that the frame of image data does not pass the dynamic image verification, skipping outputting of the image data so as to skip refreshing of the display image of the display panel once.

Methods and devices for selectively presenting a user interface or “desktop” across two devices are provided. More particularly, a unified desktop is presented across a device and a computer system that comprise a unified system. The unified desktop acts as a single user interface that presents data and receives user interaction in a seamless environment that emulates a personal computing environment. To function within the personal computing environment, the unified desktop includes a process for docking and undocking the device with the computer system. The unified desktop presents a new user interface to allow access to functions of the unified desktop.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for modifying graphics rendering by transcoding a serialized command stream. An embodiment operates by receiving a command configured to instruct an API to render a graphics element. The embodiment further operates by generating, based on the command, a transcoded command configured to instruct the API to render a modified graphics element by applying a set of modification factors to a portion of the command. Subsequently, the embodiment operates by transmitting the transcoded command to the API.

The display device includes: a flexible display panel including a display portion in which scanning lines and signal lines cross each other; a supporting portion for supporting an end portion of the flexible display panel; a signal line driver circuit for outputting a signal to the signal line, which is provided for the supporting portion; and a scanning line driver circuit for outputting a signal to the scanning line, which is provided for a flexible surface of the display panel in a direction which is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the supporting portion.

Video or graphics, received by a render engine within a graphics processing unit, may be segmented into a region of interest such as foreground and a region of less interest such as background. In other embodiments, an object of interest may be segmented from the rest of the depiction in a case of a video game or graphics processing workload. Each of the segmented portions of a frame may themselves make up a separate surface which is sent separately from the render engine to the display engine of a graphics processing unit. In one embodiment, the display engine combines the two surfaces and sends them over a display link to a display panel. The display controller in the display panel displays the combined frame. The combined frame is stored in a buffer and refreshed periodically. In accordance with another embodiment, video or graphics may be segmented by a render engine into regions of interest or objects of interest and objects not of interest and again each of the separate regions or objects may be transferred to the display engine as a separate surface. Then the display engine may transfer the separate surfaces to a display controller of a display panel over a display link. At the display panel, a separate frame buffer may be used for each of the separate surfaces.
