    Abstract: An apparatus for processing digital display data is described, wherein the digital display data has a fixed number of pixels in each display line, and the apparatus has a horizontal averaging means and a vertical averaging means. The horizontal averaging means identifies pixel data corresponding to a first pixel, a second pixel, and a third pixel, where the first, second, and third pixels are consecutive pixels in the same line of display data, and then smoothes the intensity values of the first, second, and third pixels, after which the smoothed values are stored. The vertical averaging means for identifies pixel data corresponding to a fourth and fifth pixels, where the fourth and fifth pixels are vertically adjacent to each other, and then smoothes the intensity values of said fourth and fifth pixel data, and storing the resulting smoothed values.
