  • Patent number: 8638462
    Abstract: In an image display apparatus, when image data is transferred from an LCD controller to an LCD through a transmission cable having a plurality of signal lines and is displayed on a screen, the image data is divided sequentially by a plurality of lines from a front line so as to correspond to the number of signal lines and allocates the divided image data to the signal lines such that image data of which signal change is larger is allocated to a signal line which is closer to the ground line to transfer the image data. Therefore, the entire radiation noise which is generated can be reduced while maintaining quality of signals.

  • Publication number: 20110134134
    Abstract: An image display apparatus, including multiple line buffers that divide a unit line's worth of image data into multiple pieces and store those pieces. The compression unit, executes the first process in which the compression of the image data read out from the line buffer is carried out referring to image data of an adjacent pixel stored in the frame memory, and executes the second process, different from the first process, in the case where the read-out image data and the image data of the adjacent pixel are data from different line buffers. Accordingly, even if a plurality of line buffers that divide and store a unit line's worth of image data are provided, the writing of image data from the line buffers into the frame memory can be carried out efficiently.

  • Patent number: 7187459
    Abstract: A printing system that comprises a host computer 50 and a printer 10 in combination. As the printer 10, is used one that can process a first class print request including a control program and print data and a second class print request including only print data, and, when an ID output request is received, sends a control program ID as identification information of a control program stored inside the printer 10 at that point of time. Printer control software 20a is installed on the host computer 50 to put the computer 50 in a state that, when a print request is to be outputted to the printer 10, the computer 50 verifies whether a required control program is stored within the printer 10, and the computer 50 sends a second class print request to the printer 10, when storing of the control program is verified, and sends a first class print request to the printer 10, when storing of the control program is not verified.

  • Publication number: 20030226055
    Abstract: A CPU 30 reads out SPD information of an installed RAM module 60 and obtains a memory capacity of the RAM module 60. Information about clock adjusted values corresponding to the memory capacity is stored in the ROM 50 and the CPU 30 controls a phase adjuster in accordance with the information. As a result, a skew-adjusted clock is entered into the RAM module 60. Thus, in the controller of the electronic equipment, a clock skew to be supplied to the RAM module can easily be adjusted.
