    摘要: A multi-processing system includes a plurality of memories and a plurality of processors. Each of the memories has a unique addressable memory portion of a single memory address space. Each processors has a predetermined plurality of corresponding memories. These corresponding memories have a corresponding base address within said single memory address space The processors generate addresses for read/write access to data stored within said plurality of memories in accordance with received instructions. A switch matrix connected to the memories and the processors responds to an address generated by a processor to selectively route data between that processor and a memories whose unique addressable memory portion encompasses that address. Each processor has a register with a plurality of read only bits which uniquely identify that processor within the multi-processing system. The processor may employ this unique processor identifier to compute the base address corresponding to that processor. This enables programs which may execute independently of the processor within the multi-processing system.

    摘要: A method and system for adjusting the brightness and contrast of a digital pulse-width modulated display without scaling the input image data. Brightness is adjusted by changing the duty cycle of a displayed pixel either by altering the bit display durations, or by turning the pixel on during blanking periods 36. The contrast ratio may be altered by changing the display duration of at least one of the MSBs differently than the display duration of at least one of the LSBs. Contrast may be increased by extending the MSB display periods 50 and shortening the LSB display periods 52. Contrast may be decreased by shortening the MSB display periods 56 and extending the LSB display periods 58. The color tint of the displayed image may be altered by individually changing the brightness of the constituent colors.

    摘要: A method and device for increasing the effective horizontal resolution of a display device. One embodiment forms a cardinal array of digital micromirror elements by staggering alternate rows in an array. According to a second embodiment, an ordinal pixel array 57, is converted to a cardinal pixel array, by grouping SLM elements 59, 61, 63, and 65 into a pixel block 58. All of the elements in a pixel block are controlled in unison such that the pixel block acts like a single pixel. Rows of pixel blocks 67 and 69 are offset to provide the effect of a cardinal array of pixels without the decrease in efficiency sometimes associated with cardinal pixel arrays.

    摘要: A line generator (31) for receiving fields of pixel data sampled from a video input signal and for generating additional lines of pixel data so that the display frames will have more lines than the fields. The line generator (31) has a motion detector (31a) that determines, on a pixel by pixel basis, whether some part of the current field is in motion. A motion signal from the motion detector (31a) is used to select between outputs of two or more pixel generators (31b, 31c). One of the pixel generators (31b) provides pixel values that are better suited for display when the image is not in motion. The other pixel generator (31c) provides pixel values that are better suited for display when the image is in motion.
