Abstract
A display system including a sub-pixel formatted display is disclosed. A source generates image data, converts the image data into sub-pixel formatted data having a first sub-pixel color order, transmits the sub-pixel formatted data to a display device including the display. The display device converts the sub-pixel formatted data into sub-pixel formatted data having a second sub-pixel color order, and applies the sub-pixel data with the second sub-pixel color order to the display.
Claims20
A display system comprising:
- a display device comprising a display having a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in a sub-pixel format, and having a line of sub-pixels of the plurality of sub-pixels with a display-line sub-pixel color order;
- a source configured to generate image data in red-green-blue format for a line of an image to be displayed on the line of sub-pixels and convert the image data in red-green-blue format for the line of the image into sub-pixel formatted data having a first sub-pixel color order;
- the source being external to the display device and configured to transmit the sub-pixel formatted data having the first sub-pixel color order to the display device, the display device being configured to convert the sub-pixel formatted data having the first sub-pixel color order into sub-pixel formatted data having a second sub-pixel color order different from the first sub-pixel color order and the image data in red-green-blue format generated by the source, and to transmit the sub-pixel formatted data having the second sub-pixel color order to the display for rendering on the line of sub-pixels.
A method for supplying data to a display device comprising a display having a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in a sub-pixel format, and having a line of sub-pixels of the plurality of sub-pixels with a display-line sub-pixel color order, the method comprising:
- generating, by a source external to the display device, image data in red-green-blue format for a line of an image to be displayed on the line of sub-pixels;
- converting, by the source external to the display device, the image data in red-green-blue format for the line of the image into sub-pixel formatted data having a first sub-pixel color order;
- transmitting, by the source external to the display device, the sub-pixel formatted data having the first sub-pixel color order to the display device;
- converting, by the display device, the sub-pixel formatted data having the first sub-pixel color order into sub-pixel formatted data having a second sub-pixel color order different from the first sub-pixel color order and the image data in red-green-blue format generated by the source;
- and
- transmitting, by the display device, the sub-pixel formatted data having the second sub-pixel color order to the display for rendering on the line of sub-pixels.
