Abstract
A system including a display module and a system module. The display module is integrated in a portable device with a display communicatively coupled to one or more of a driver unit, a measurement unit, a timing controller, a compensation sub-module, and a display memory unit. The system module is communicatively coupled to the display module and has one or more interface modules, one or more processing units, and one or more system memory units. At least one of the processing units and the system memory units is programmable to calculate new compensation parameters for the display module during an offline operation.
Claims20
A portable electronic device comprising:
- a display module carried on a first substrate and integrated in the portable electronic device, comprising an electronic video display and a plurality of sub-modules, each only using display level resources of the first substrate, at least one of said plurality of sub-modules for controlling measurement of pixels;
- and
- at least one processing unit, included in a system module physically arranged on one or more substrates communicatively coupled to and separate from the first substrate, the at least one processing unit configured to execute system level applications of the portable electronic device and, as part of generating new compensation parameters, to perform said controlling measurement of pixels offloaded from said at least one of said plurality of sub-modules, using system level resources of the one or more substrates distinct from the display level resources.
A method of operating a portable electronic device including, a display module carried on a first substrate and integrated in the portable electronic device including an electronic video display and a plurality of sub-modules, each only using display level resources of the first substrate, and at least one processing unit, included in a system module physically arranged on one or more substrates communicatively coupled to and separate from the first substrate, the method comprising:
- performing by at least one of said plurality of sub-modules, control of measurement of pixels;
- executing at the at least one processing unit, system level applications of the portable electronic device;
- offloading said control of measurement of pixels from said at least one of said plurality of sub-modules;
- and
- performing at the at least one processing unit, as part of generating new compensation parameters, said control of measurement of pixels offloaded from the at least one of said plurality of sub-modules, using system level resources of the one or more substrates distinct from the display level resources.
