When the display apparatus operates in the display mode, the touch control signal is transmitted to the computer host to control the computer host.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for adjusting the pixel resolution of an input image is disclosed. According to the present invention, the pixel resolution of the input image is adjusted by oversampling an analog signal representative of the input image at a higher frequency than the pixel rate of the original image, then digitally downscaling to the desired horizontal resolution of an output image. The horizontally downscaled image is then stored in a buffer memory and subsequently scaled up to the desired vertical resolution of the output image. Preferably, oversampling of the analog signal is performed at a frequency that is an integer multiple of the input pixel rate, thus providing coherent sampling to help avoid aliasing artifacts in the sampled image.
