Abstract
A programmable display controller is provided including an input for receiving data from a data source. Further included is a processor coupled to the input. The processor is adapted for being programmed to process the received data in accordance with user-specified instructions. Coupled to the processor is an output for sending the processed data to at least one display module for driving the display module(s) in accordance with the user-specified instructions. Such driving includes the control of low-level functions associated with the display.
Claims26
A method for controlling operation of a display, comprising:
- (a) programming a processor of a display controller;
