Dynamic configuration of display controller based on configuration of connected display panel

A display controller comprising:

• a transceiver configured to connect the display controller through an interconnect interface with a display panel;
• and
• a system on a chip including a central processing unit (CPU), non-transitory data storage, and program instructions stored in the non-transitory data storage and executable by the CPU to carry out operations for dynamically configuring the display controller based on configuration of the display panel, the operations including:
• detecting that the display panel is connected with the display controller, and
• responsive to detecting that the display panel is connected with the display controller, (i) determining a configuration of the display panel, and (ii) based on the determined configuration of the display panel, dynamically configuring the display controller to interwork with the connected display panel having the determined configuration,
• wherein when the display controller and display panel are connected with each other, the display controller and display panel cooperatively form at least part of a television.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processing unit of a display controller to cause the display controller to carry out operations comprising:

• detecting that a display panel is connected with the display controller;
• and
• responsive to detecting that the display panel is connected with the display controller, (i) determining a configuration of the display panel, and (ii) based on the determined configuration of the display panel, dynamically configuring the display controller to interwork with the connected display panel having the determined configuration,
• wherein, when the display controller and display panel are connected with each other, the display controller and display panel cooperatively form at least part of a television.
