  • Patent number: 11749171
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a host controller. The host controller splits a to-be-displayed image into at least two sub images, where each sub image and an adjacent sub image thereof include at least one column of overlapping image pixels. The host controller sends the at least two sub images to at least two display drive circuits, so that the at least two display drive circuits can jointly drive a display screen to display the to-be-displayed image in a sub pixel rendering (SPR) manner.

  • Patent number: 9424805
    Abstract: A display drive integrated circuit includes a frame buffer, an output selector and a timing controller. The output selector selectively outputs one of image data read from the frame buffer and image data transmitted from a source external to the display drive integrated circuit. The timing controller controls output of the image data read from the frame buffer to the display panel in a self-refresh mode, and controls internal display timing to track external display timing when the display drive integrated circuit exits from the self-refresh mode to control the output selector to output the image data transmitted from the source to the display panel when the internal display timing is synchronized to the external display timing.
