    摘要: A display processor device is for processing display image data by overlaying a multitude of image layers. Pixel values of at least one of the image layers are stored in a memory and may comprise pixels values having a single predefined value, such as transparency. The display processor has a fetch unit for selectively fetching stored pixel values from the memory by skipping stored pixels values having the single predefined value according to a fetch mask indicative of pixels values having the single predetermined value. Advantageously the bandwidth for accessing the memory is reduced, because less pixel data values need be retrieved. Power consumption may be reduced, and slower memories may be applied.

    摘要: A display controller comprising a blending stage and a blending controller. The blending stage is provided for blending multiple image layers into one display output image and comprises a plurality of input channels for receiving pixel data for the multiple image layers. The blending stage further comprises multiple blenders for combining the pixel data received by at least two input channels of the plurality of input channels. The blending controller is coupled to the blending stage for controlling operation of the blending stage. The blending stage further comprises a controllable switch for coupling an output of at least one blender of the multiple blenders to a display output of the blending stage for regular on-the-fly blending or to an offline blending memory for storing a result of an offline blending task. The blending controller comprises an input for receiving layer data describing locations and/or properties of the multiple image layers and a predictor for, based on the layer data, predicting an availability of the at least one blender. The blending controller is further operative to control the blending stage to perform the offline blending task in dependence of the predicted availability.
