A mechanism is described for facilitating consolidated compression/de-compression of graphics data streams of varying types at computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes generating a common sector cache relating to a graphics processor. The method may further include performing a consolidated compression of multiple types of graphics data streams associated with the graphics processor using the common sector cache.

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.

The present disclosure discloses a driving method and apparatus of a display panel. When each of a plurality of obtained display frames is transmitted, only display data, corresponding to each pixel in one row group, in the display frame of image data is transmitted to a driving chip in the display panel, so that the driving chip in the display panel drives the display panel to display an image according to the received display data. Therefore, when a system on chip transmits each of the plurality of obtained display frames, only the display data, corresponding to each pixel in one row group, in the display frame of image data is transmitted to the driving chip in the display panel.

An image generation apparatus generates an image whose background region on which a virtual object appearing in the real space is not superimposed is drawn in a background color having a predetermined luminance so as to make a region of a shadow of the virtual object look relatively dark. A rendering section renders the shadow of the virtual object appearing in a mesh structure in the real space by rendering not only the virtual object but also the mesh structure in the real space. A pixel value conversion section heightens colors of all pixels such that the background region uniformly takes on a background color having a predetermined luminance. A shadow/background processing section identifies the region of the shadow of the virtual object, sets the background region other than the shadow to the background color, and sets the shadow region to a color whose luminance is equal to or lower than that of the background color.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory, a display driver integrated circuit (DDIC), a display, and a processor that generates an image frame, transmits the image frame to the DDIC, and controls the DDIC to drive the display based on the image frame. The DDIC outputs a first timing signal at a first frame period, outputs a second timing signal at a second frame period longer than the first frame period when the reception of the image frame is delayed, and outputs a third timing signal at a third frame period longer than the first frame period and shorter than the second frame period when the image frame is not received for a designated reference time after the second timing signal is output.

Systems and methods for improving perceived image quality of an electronic display, which includes a display region with a rounded border and a display pixel at a pixel position adjacent the rounded border. A display pipeline communicatively coupled to the electronic display receives first image data that indicates target luminance at the pixel position in a rectangular image frame; determines a gain value associated with the pixel position from a gain map, in which the gain value is inversely proportional to distance between the display pixel and the rounded border; determines second image data that indicates target luminance of the display pixel by processing the first image data based at least in part on the gain value; and outputs the second image data to the electronic display to facilitate displaying a non-rectangular portion of the image frame on the display region.
