Abstract
An example electronic device includes a display panel; a display driver circuit operably coupled to the display panel and including a memory; and a processor operably coupled to the display driver circuit. The processor may be configured to identify a refresh rate; provide, to the display driver circuit, a first signal that indicates storing in the memory one or more images to be provided from the processor for a display on the display panel according to the refresh rate, or provide, to the display driver circuit, a second signal that indicates bypassing to store the one or more images in the memory.
Claims11
An electronic device comprising:
- at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
- display driver circuitry including memory;
- and
- a display panel,
- wherein the display driver circuitry is configured to:
- while storing of an image received from the at least one processor in the memory of the display driver circuitry is activated in accordance with a first command received from the at least one processor, receive, from the at least one processor, a second command for deactivating storing of an image received from the at least one processor in the memory of the display driver circuitry;
- in response to a first image received initially from the at least one processor after the second command is received from the at least one processor:
- display, via the display panel, the first image by scanning the first image received from the at least one processor, and
- perform storing of the first image in the memory of the display driver circuitry despite the second command;
- and
- in response to a second image received from the at least one processor while displaying the first image via the display panel:
- display, via the display panel, the second image by scanning the second image received from the at least one processor, and
- in accordance with the second command, refrain from storing of the second image in the memory of the display driver circuitry.
An electronic device comprising:
- at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
- display driver circuitry including memory;
- and
- a display panel,
- wherein the display driver circuitry is configured to:
- while storing of an image received from the at least one processor in the memory of the display driver circuitry is activated in accordance with a first command received from the at least one processor, receive, from the at least one processor, a second command, wherein the first command is, until a third command is received from the at least one processor, for activating storing of an image received from the at least one processor in the memory of the display driver circuitry, wherein the second command is for activating only storing of an image initially received from the at least one processor in the memory of the display driver circuitry after the second command is transmitted from the at least one processor to the display driver circuitry, and wherein the third command is for deactivating storing of an image received from the at least one processor in the memory of the display driver circuitry;
- in response to a first image received initially from the at least one processor after the second command is received from the at least one processor:
- display, via the display panel, the first image by scanning the first image received from the at least one processor, and
- based on the second command, perform storing of the first image in the memory of the display driver circuitry;
- and
- in response to a second image received from the at least one processor while displaying the first image via the display panel:
- display, via the display panel, the second image by scanning the second image received from the at least one processor, and
- based on the second command, refrain from storing of the second image in the memory of the display driver circuitry.
