1. A method comprising:
- receiving a sequence of input groups, each input group containing a plurality of input pixels; and
providing a sequence of output frames, each output frame containing a plurality of output pixels to refresh a display screen, wherein the pixels of each output frame include (1) a plurality of new pixels which are the input pixels of a respective input group, and (2) a plurality of old pixels which are the input pixels of a previous input group, the previous input group being an input group that is received previous to the respective input group.

Abstract
A sequence of input groups, each input group containing a number of input pixels, is received. A sequence of output frames is provided, where each output frame contains a number of output pixels to refresh a display screen. The pixels of each output frame include (1) a number of new pixels which are the input pixels of a respective input group, and (2) a number of old pixels which are the input pixels of a previous input group. The previous input group is one that'"'"'s received previous to the respective input group.

10. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
a digital interface to provide a digital sequence which includes a sequence of input groups;
a pixel extraction circuit coupled to the digital interface to extract a plurality of input pixels for each input group in the sequence of input groups;
a timing circuit coupled to the digital interface to determine a clock timing for activating elements of a display screen to display the input pixels;
a buffer coupled to the pixel extraction circuit, to store the plurality of input pixels for each input group in the sequence; and
a pixel multiplexer having a first input coupled to the pixel extraction circuit, a second input coupled to the buffer, and an output to provide a sequence of output frames, each output frame containing a plurality of output pixels taken from the first and second inputs as determined by the timing circuit, so that the pixels of each output frame include (1) a plurality of new pixels, received at the first input, which are the input pixels of a respective input group, and (2) a plurality of old pixels, received at the second input, which are the input pixels of a previous input group, the previous input group being an input group that is received, by the pixel extraction circuit, previous to the respective input group. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

19. A circuit comprising:
-
means for generating a plurality of input pixels for each input group in a sequence of input groups;
means for generating a clock timing signal to display the input pixels;
means for storing the plurality of input pixels for each input group in the sequence; and
means for generating a sequence of output frames, each output frame containing a plurality of output pixels that include (1) a plurality of new pixels which are the input pixels of a respective input group, and (2) a plurality of old pixels which are the input pixels of a previous input group, the previous input group being an input group that is received, by the input pixel generation means, previous to the respective input group.
