Display system having improved multiple modes for displaying image data from multiple input source formats

An image processing system that accepts a plurality of source image data formats comprising:

• resampling circuitry that resamples source image data to target image data, the source image data including source input pixels arranged in source input lines, said resampling circuitry comprising:
• pixel doubling circuitry that doubles source input pixels;
• line scaling circuitry that scales the source input lines;
• and
• a rendering circuitry that performs subpixel rendering on said scaled source image data;
• wherein said pixel doubling circuitry comprises interpolation circuitry with interpolation coefficients − 1/16, 9/16, 9/16, − 1/16.

A method for rendering target image data, said method comprising:

• inputting a plurality of source image data, said plurality of source image data further comprising a plurality of source image data formats;
• scaling source image data from said source image data formats to a plurality of target image data formats;
• subpixel rendering said scaled source image data;
• displaying the rendered source image data onto a display wherein the resolution of the display is lower than the resolution of the largest of said plurality of target image data formats.

An image processing system, comprising:

• means for inputting a plurality of source image data, said plurality of source image data further comprising a plurality of source image data formats;
• means for scaling source image data from said source image data formats to a plurality of target image data formats;
• and
• means for performing subpixel rendering of said scaled source image data;
• means for displaying the rendered source image data onto a display wherein the resolution of the display comprises approximately one half the resolution of the largest of said plurality of target image data formats.
