Abstract
A user interface for a host data processing system includes a display screen and a display controller adapted to receive image data from the host processing system and to display them on the screen. The display controller has access to a non-volatile screen memory storing data for generating a splash screen at least during a start-up of the host processing system when image data from the host processing system are not yet available. The display controller is adapted to update the screen memory in response to commands received from the host processing system, and to display an updated splash screen upon the next start-up.
