  • Publication number: 20230093744
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for reducing gamut mapping luminance loss. A gain value of at least one primary color may be reduced in a native color gamut based on an analog technique (e.g., using a DDIC in a display panel) to provide a reduced color gamut that is smaller than the native color gamut. The reduced color gamut may have a same luminance as the native color gamut. One or more colors included in the native color gamut may be mapped via a digital technique (e.g., using a DPU or other processor) to the reduced color gamut. The mapping may be configured to provide a threshold level of color accuracy in the reduced color gamut.

  • Publication number: 20230073736
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for reducing a DPU transfer time to compensate for a delayed GPU render time. After completion of rendering a second frame that follows a first frame, a frame processor determines whether the first frame is currently transferring to a display panel or has already been transferred to the display panel. At least one clock is used with a first set of clock speeds when the first frame is determined to be currently transferring and used with a second set of clock speeds when the first frame is determined to have already been transferred, the second set of clock speeds being faster than the first set of clock speeds. After completion of the transfer of the first frame, the second frame is transferred based on the set of clock speeds.

  • Publication number: 20230074876
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for delaying a DSI clock change until there is no new frame update, so that a smoother user interface may be perceived. With more specificity, an apparatus may receive a request to change a speed of a clock for displaying a frame. After receiving the request, the apparatus may determine whether two consecutive frames (e.g., a current frame and a prior frame) have a different layer configuration. If so, the request to change the speed of the clock may be delayed until a new set of two consecutive frames are identified with a same layer configuration or until the delay period reaches a timeout limit.
