Abstract
A display device includes a backplane, where a portion of the backplane is associated with a particular pixel of a display, and the display includes an array of pixels. The display further includes at least a particular light emitting diode (LED) on the portion of the backplane to implement the particular pixel and local memory located with the particular LED on the portion of the backplane, where the local memory is to store data to be used to control the particular LED and presentation at the particular pixel.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a portion of a backplane, wherein the portion is associated with a particular pixel of a display, and the display is to comprise an array of pixels;
- a particular light emitting diode (LED) on the portion of the backplane, wherein the particular LED is to implement the particular pixel;
- and
- local memory located with the particular LED on the portion of the backplane, wherein the local memory is to store data to be used to control the particular LED and presentation at the particular pixel;
- and
- execution unit circuitry to implement a portion of graphics processing logic for the display, wherein the execution unit circuitry is to perform one or more graphics operations for the particular pixel using data stored in the local memory, wherein the execution unit circuitry is located with the particular LED and the local memory on the portion of the backplane.
At least one non-transitive machine accessible storage medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed on a machine, causes the machine to:
- identify display data corresponding to graphics to be presented on a display, wherein the graphics are to transition from a first frame to a second frame based on the display data, the display comprises a backplane with an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) to implement a plurality of pixels of the display, the backplane further comprises a plurality of memory elements to serve as local memory for each one of the plurality of pixels, and at least some of the plurality of memory elements are located on the backplane between LEDs in the array of LEDs;
- determine, from the display data, that a first subset of the plurality of pixels are to retain respective pixel values in the transition from the first frame to the second frame;
- determine, from the display data, that a second subset of the plurality of pixels are to change from a respective previous value in the first frame to a respective new value in the second frame;
- and
- cause a set of signals to be sent to write data to a subset of the plurality of memory elements, wherein the subset of memory elements serve as local memory for the second subset of pixels, and the data is written to the subset of memory elements to identify the respective new pixel values for the second subset of pixels, wherein each LED in the array of LEDs is driven by a corresponding value stored in the respective local memory for the LED.
A system comprising:
- a host platform comprising:
- a data processor;
- and
- a memory;
- and
- a display to interface with the host platform, wherein the display comprises:
- a backplane;
- a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) elements mounted on the backplane to implement an array of pixels of the display;
- and
- a plurality of memory elements mounted on the backplane, wherein at least some of the plurality of memory elements are mounted between LED elements in the plurality of LED elements, and the plurality of memory elements provide local memory for the array of pixels,
- wherein each one of the plurality of LED elements is driven based on a respective pixel value stored in the local memory of the respective pixel implemented by the LED element, the host platform is to cause graphics to be presented in consecutive frames on the display, and respective pixel values are to be retained in the local memory when the corresponding pixels remain unchanged between the consecutive frames.
