Abstract
Apparatus including: a controller; a display panel; a first frame memory configured to load a frame of data to the display panel during insertion of a blank frame at the display panel and configured to be filled by a frame of data from the controller, wherein the controller is configured to insert blank frames between frames of data displayed on the display panel.
Claims19
Apparatus comprising:
- a controller;
- a display panel;
- a first frame memory configured to load a frame of data to the display panel during insertion of a blank frame at the display panel and configured to be filled by a frame of data from the controller;
- and
- a second frame memory, different from the first frame memory, configured to load a frame of data to the display panel during insertion of a blank frame at the display panel and configured to be filled by a frame of data from the controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to insert a blank frame between two frames of data displayed on the display panel and
- wherein the first frame memory is configured to reload a first frame of data, displayed at the display panel for a first image frame, to the display panel for a second image frame when a process of filling the second frame memory with a second frame of data is not completed.

An apparatus comprising:
- one or more display modules, each display module comprising:
- a display panel;
- a first frame memory configured to be filled by a frame of data from an input interface and configured to load a frame of data to the display panel;
- and
- a second frame memory configured to be filled by a frame of data from an input interface and configured to load a frame of data to the display panel,
- wherein the first and second frame memories are configured so that whichever of the first frame memory and the second frame memory that has been most recently filled by a complete frame of data, loads a next frame of data to the display panel and
- wherein each display module is configured to load a frame of data only during insertion of a blank frame;
- and
- one or more controllers, each controller configured to synchronously insert, for each of the display modules, a blank frame between frames of data displayed on the display panel,
- wherein the first frame memory is configured to reload a first frame of data, displayed at the display panel for a first image frame, to the display panel for a second image frame when a process of filling the second frame memory with a second frame of data is not completed.
7 more elements
A method comprising:
- displaying a first frame of data previously loaded into a display panel from a first frame memory;
- reloading, from the first frame memory, the first frame of data, displayed at the display panel for a first image frame, to the display panel for a second image frame when a process of filling a second frame memory with a second frame of data is not completed;
- displaying a blank frame at the display panel and simultaneously loading the second frame of data into the display panel from the second frame memory;
- and
- displaying the second frame of data previously loaded into the display panel from the second frame memory.
