  • Patent number: 11513810
    Abstract: A method of configuring a display device interface (DDI) detects a trigger signal, generated by a display device. If the trigger signal is associated with a power on event, a full configuration of the DDI is performed, including loading display device capability information provided by the display device into DDI configuration registers and setting one or more DDI configuration parameters accordingly. If the trigger signal is associated with resume event, rather than a power on event, a modified fast link resume operation may be performed to route the trigger signal to a controller configured to explicitly write display device capability information to the appropriate DDI configuration registers before setting the corresponding DDI configuration parameter accordingly. The DDI may include a re-timer, between the DDI source and sink, configured to snoop the explicit write transaction such that the re-timer configuration is also updated.

  • Patent number: 11455972
    Abstract: A display device includes a storage unit, a display unit and a processing unit. The storage unit stores a color parameter under a color space. The display unit displays an adjusting interface including a reference color block and a plurality of offset color blocks. When a target offset color block of the offset color blocks is selected, the processing unit updates a color coordinate of the reference color block by a color coordinate of the target offset color block and updates a color coordinate of each of the offset color blocks by a color coordinate of the updated reference color block and an offset value. The processing unit obtains a color transformation matrix according to the color coordinate of the reference color block, the color coordinate of the target offset color block and the color parameter. The processing unit adjusts three output percentages of RGB by the color transformation matrix.
