  • Publication number: 20240169883
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for a power efficient display architecture. A display processor may obtain an indication that UC is to be displayed at a first resolution or a second resolution, where the first resolution is higher than the second resolution. The display processor may drive a first display via a first controller of a first DPU based on the indication. The display processor may drive a second display via a controller of a second DPU if the UC is to be displayed at the first resolution, or drive the second display via a second controller of the first DPU if the UC is to be displayed at the second resolution.

  • Patent number: 11978372
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for synchronized dual eye variable refresh rate update for a VR display. A display processor obtains an indication of a synchronous flush or an asynchronous flush with respect to a first DPU and/or a second DPU. The display processor determines whether a first flush operation and/or a second flush operation is available at a time instance, where the first flush operation and the second flush operation are associated with the first DPU and/or the second DPU. The display processor performs, based on a VSync instance, the first flush operation and/or the second flush operation based on whether the first flush operation and/or the second flush operation are available at the time instance and based on the indication of the synchronous flush or the asynchronous flush.

  • Patent number: 11545114
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for data processing, e.g., a display processing unit (DPU). The apparatus may receive data including a plurality of data bits, the data being associated with at least one data source. The apparatus may also determine whether at least a portion of the data corresponds to priority data, the priority data being within a region of interest (ROI). The apparatus may also detect an adjustment amount of the received data when at least a portion of the data corresponds to priority data, the data being displayed or stored based on the detected adjustment amount.

  • Patent number: 10269144
    Abstract: This disclosure describes examples for generating image content based on both a color value and a dither value that is to be applied. When a color value for the current pixel is the same as the color value for a previous pixel, and a dither value that is to be applied to the current pixel is the same as the dither value that was added to the previous pixel, a display processor may output the output color value for the previous pixel as the output color value for the current pixel.

  • Patent number: 9990690
    Abstract: In an example, a method for tile-based processing by a display processor may include reading first foreground tile data of a foreground image from a first memory space. The method may include storing the read first foreground tile data into a second memory space. The method may include reading first background tile data of a background image from the first memory space. The method may include storing the read first background tile data into a third memory space. The method may include reading a subset of data of the first foreground tile data from the second memory space. The method may include reading a subset of data of the first background tile data from the third memory space.
