  • Patent number: 8031200
    Abstract: In a video matrix display interface, an interface includes one or more subsystems to receive information from a plurality of display devices, compile the information from the plurality of display devices, report the compiled information to a graphics processing device, generate a video image using the compiled information, the image to be viewable across the plurality of display devices, splice the video image into portions and transmit the video image portions to the plurality of display devices, thereby creating a continuous image across the plurality of display devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100245390
    Abstract: Visual images presented on an information handling system display automatically adjust to changes in the orientation of the display. An orientation device on the display detects changes in display orientation and sends an interrupt to an information handling system orientation module. The orientation module responds to the interrupt by retrieving orientation information from the display and adjusting the visual images to align with the orientation of the display.

  • Publication number: 20070174418
    Abstract: In a system for upgrading firmware of a display device (DD), a plurality of instructions are executable by a processor to upgrade the firmware. A graphics controller, which is coupled to the processor, generates the displays displayable on the DD. The DD is coupled to the graphics controller via a cable and the communications between them is compliant with a display data channel command interface (DDC/CI) standard defined by video electronics standard association (VESA). The plurality of instructions are communicated to a DD controller of the DD via the cable. The DD controller decodes the plurality of instructions received into a set of commands specific to the DD and the DD controller writes the set of commands to the firmware to upgrade.

  • Publication number: 20060190633
    Abstract: A display device includes a plurality of video input interfaces. The display device also includes a display controller coupled to the plurality of video input interfaces. The display controller determines a sequence in which the plurality of video input interfaces are scanned for a video signal. The display controller makes the determination in response to activity information associated with one or more video input interfaces included in the plurality of video input interfaces.
