  • Publication number: 20220130349
    Abstract: An image processing device and method for displaying multi-screen are provided. The image processing device includes an image processing circuit, a transmission arrangement circuit, and an image merge circuit. The image processing circuit receives and processes a first image information with a first bandwidth and a second image information with a second bandwidth to generate a first image information package and a second image information package which are transmitted to the transmission arrangement circuit. The image merge circuit receives and restores the first image information package and the second image information package from the transmission arrangement circuit with a third bandwidth, and outputs the first image information package and the second image information package to a display together. When the first image information and the second image information are in a full-screen mode, the third bandwidth is less than a sum of the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth.
