Abstract: A graphics chip is described for performing operations required by a display device to generate display images. The graphics chip includes a display controller and an internal frame buffer coupled to the display controller, which is used to store display data. The graphics chip further includes a data copy logic to copy display data from an external frame buffer to the internal frame buffer as the display controller reads the display data from the external frame buffer.

Abstract: A display that includes energy sensors within the display itself is disclosed. An Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) can be made to operate both as a light emitter and as an energy detector. When forward biased with an appropriate driving signal, the OLED emits light via electroluminescence, which can be used to make a portion of an image on the display. In another mode, the OLED can detect energy by converting incoming photons or energy into an electrical signal by the photoelectric effect. By operating OLEDs in the display in both emissive and sensing modes, energy that shines on the display, such as from an outside source can be detected at the same time an image is shown. Additionally, a display including OLEDs can detect light energy generated by the display itself.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for color calibrating an imager device is disclosed. The imager device is subjected to a plurality of light sources. Color channel responses are obtained from the imager device and the color calibrating coefficients are determined.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a processor has a loop buffer and a cache that provides requested information to a processor core.

Abstract: An image capture system comprises an image input and processing unit. The image input obtains image information which is then passed to the processing unit. The processing unit is coupled to the image input for determining image metrics on the image information. The processing unit initiates a capture sequence when the image metrics meet a predetermined condition. The capture sequence may store one or more images, or it may indicate that one or more images have been detected. In one embodiment, the image input is a CMOS or CCD sensor.

Abstract: Some embodiments of a method, display, graphics system and computer system are described for power efficient operation of displays. The graphics system includes a processing system, which has a video decoder to operate with a display controller. The video decoder and/or display controller may include logic for shutting down portions of the graphics system and for sending reduced video data to a display. In some embodiments, the graphics system sends signals to shut down portions of the display. In some embodiments, parts of the graphics system, computer system and display are able to shut down when there is not a difference in the video data to be sent to the display. In some embodiments, the amount of video data to be sent to the display is reduced during encoding and/or decoding by only sending the video data which is different. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: A display system includes a controller capable of compressing pixel data, and a display module capable of decompressing pixel data.

Abstract: Several embodiments in accordance with the invention are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, a display screen for a display is discussed.

Abstract: An application processor and coprocessor communicate data, including command and control data, over a separate high-speed datapath. The data may be formatted into a pixel-stream format suitable for sending over the datapath. The application processor may utilize a graphics interface to send pixel-stream formatted data to a graphics interface of the coprocessor over the high-speed datapath rather than over a system bus. The coprocessor may reformat the formatted data to control and drive a graphics display.

Abstract: An organic light emitting device display may be compensated for color variations between sub-pixels of the same expressed color. This may be done initially upon manufacture of the display and may be continued and updated in the course of the display's lifetime to compensate for differential effects of aging on different expressed sub-pixels. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the display may be driven to achieve a color gamut that substantially all of the pixels are capable of achieving.

Abstract: An organic light emitting device display may be formed of at least two moisture impervious layers sealed to one another using an epoxy material having a desiccant formed within the epoxy material. Any moisture or other solvents that tend to penetrate into the region between the front and back plates of the display where the organic light emitting material resides, will be trapped by the desiccant within the filler material.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to scan an object with a color display are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus may include a driver to control sub-pixels of a color display, and logic of the driver to cause a first sub-pixel of the color display to emit light and a second sub-pixel of the color display to detect light.
