A terminal device includes an image acquisition section adapted to obtain an image data, and an image transfer section adapted to transmit the image data obtained by the image acquisition section. The image transfer section outputs information related to a processing capacity of the image transfer section to the image acquisition section, and the image acquisition section determines a frequency of outputting the image data to the image transfer section based on the information related to the processing capacity of the image transfer section.

A display driver integrated circuit includes a first slave module and a second slave module. The first slave module is initially set as a primary module to receive a mode conversion command, and is disabled based on the mode conversion command. The second slave module is initially set as a secondary module that does not receive the mode conversion command, and is set as the primary module instead of the first slave module when the first slave module is disabled. The first and second slave modules control processing or transfer of data through a channel included in or coupled to a display according to a predetermined protocol.

The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program that a memory capacity necessary for deformation processing of each frame image of a moving image can be reduced. Pixel data of a first frame image being each frame image of an input moving image is written into a predetermined plurality of storage areas in a storage unit in a predetermined write-in order, and the pixel data of the first frame image written into the storage unit is reads out in a predetermined read-out order, thereby generating a second frame image being the first frame image deformed. The write-in of the pixel data and the read-out of the pixel data are performed in parallel, the first frame image is divided into blocks in 2 rows×2 columns or more, the blocks are written into each of the storage area one by one, and the block to be written next is written into the storage area that becomes vacant by reading out the pixel data immediately before. The present technology is applicable, for example, to an image processing apparatus.

An electronic device and a method for controlling the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a substantially circular or oval display, a processor configured to generate content, a display driving unit comprising display driving circuitry including a first driver and a second driver, wherein the display driving unit is configured to control driving of the display, to identify a shape of an area of content which is displayed in the display, to identify the shape of the display, to determine a first area of the display in which the content is to be displayed, to determine a second area of the display in which the content is not to be displayed based on at least a result of the identification, to deactivate at least part of the display driving unit, corresponding to the second area, while activating the display driving unit corresponding to the first area.

Head-mounted display systems and methods of operation that allow users to couple and decouple a portable electronic device such as a handheld portable electronic device with a separate head-mounted device (e.g., temporarily integrates the separate devices into a single unit) are disclosed. The portable electronic may be physically coupled to the head-mounted device such that the portable electronic device can be worn on the user's head. The portable electronic device may be operatively coupled to the head-mounted device such that the portable electronic device and head mounted device can communicate and operate with one another. Each device may be allowed to extend its features and/or services to the other device for the purpose of enhancing, increasing and/or eliminating redundant functions between the head-mounted device and the portable electronic device.

A display controller of a data processing system fetches data for surfaces to be displayed from memory of the data processing system into a local buffer or buffers of the display controller and provides that data from the local buffer or buffers of the display controller to a display for display. If the display controller determines that data to be provided to the display has not been fetched into a local buffer of the display controller, it provides data that has previously been fetched into the local buffer of the display controller to the display in place of the data that has not been fetched into a local buffer of the display controller.

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.
