Abstract
In some examples, a method includes serializing, via a processor, image data for a first image to form serialized data mapped to RBG pixels of a second image, the image data in a format other than a RGB pixel format. The method also includes transmitting, by the processor, the serialized data via RGB signaling lines.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- compression circuitry configurable to:
- compress a first image according to clustering techniques to provide a palette for a block of pixels of the first image and index values mapping pixels of the first image to the palette;
- serialize the palette and the index values to form first serialized data, second serialized data, and third serialized data mapped to red-green-blue (RGB) pixels of a second image;
- and
- transmitter circuitry coupled to the compression circuitry and configurable to transmit the first serialized data via a red signaling line, the second serialized data via a green signaling line, and the third serialized data via a blue signaling line.

A system, comprising:
- a controller;
- a red signaling line;
- a green signaling line;
- a blue signaling line;
- a display device coupled to the controller;
- and
- a processor coupled to the controller via the red signaling line, the green signaling line, and the blue signaling line, wherein the processor is configurable to:
