Abstract:
A processor for use in an electronic device is provided. The electronic device is capable of displaying and the processor has capability of switching a refresh rate for refreshing a display panel of the display device. The processor comprises: a refresh rate selection controller and a display controller. The refresh rate selection controller is configured to dynamically select one from a plurality refresh rates. The display controller is configured to control a driving device to refresh the display panel with the selected refresh rate and determine whether to adjust a data transmission rate over an interface between the processor and the driving device according to the selected refresh rate.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a control method of a processor, wherein the control method comprises the steps of: transmitting image data of a first frame to an integrated circuit, wherein the first frame corresponds to a first frame rate; determining a second frame rate of a second frame next to the first frame; determining if a difference between the second frame rate and the first frame rate belongs to a large scale frame rate adjustment or a small scale frame rate adjustment; if the difference between the second frame rate and the first frame rate belongs to the large scale frame rate adjustment, using a first mode to transmit image data of the second frame; and if the difference between the second frame rate and the first frame rate belongs to the small scale frame rate adjustment, using a second mode to transmit image data of the second frame.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a processor including a source generator, a request synchronization signal generator and an output circuit. The source generator is configured to generate image data of a frame. The request synchronization signal generator is configured to generate a request synchronization signal to an integrated circuit only after the source generator generates the image data of the frame completely, wherein the request synchronization signal is used to trigger the integrated circuit to send a synchronization signal to the processor. The output circuit is configured to send the image data of the frame to the integrated circuit only after receiving the synchronization signal generated from the integrated circuit in response to the request synchronization signal.

Abstract:
A device generates blended frames, with each blended frame composed of multiple image layers and each image layer composed of multiple regions. The device includes display hardware. The display hardware retrieves a given image layer in a current frame from a memory. Based on at least content hints generated at the display hardware for the given image layer in the current frame, the display hardware makes a determination of whether to skip access to the memory for retrieving each region of each image layer in a next frame that is immediately after the current frame, and accesses the memory for the next frame according to the determination.
