  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A DISPLAY USING A VIRTUAL DISPLAY BUFFER
    Publication number: 20090276096
    Abstract: A device and a method for controlling a display make use of a virtual display buffer that acts as an intermediary between data input and display output. The data stored in the virtual display buffer is in a generic, readable first format. A display software driver translates the data stored in the virtual display buffer to a second format usable by a hardware display driver to control a specific display device.
