DISPLAY CONTROLLER SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of transferring data for a display device wherein a display controller system comprises a first buffer and a second buffer, which method comprises:
- (A)(i) accessing current and next image data from an image memory and comparing the two images,(ii) finding the appropriate driving waveforms, one for each of the pixels in a given line, from a lookup table,(iii) forwarding to a display voltage data to be applied to each of the pixels in said given line;
(B) transferring image data from one of the two buffers which is full to the image memory, wherein both steps A and B are completed within a line updating time period, and(C) repeating steps A and B in an interleaving manner and step B is present only when both buffers are full.

Abstract
A display controller system with a memory controller and buffers is described. The system enables transferring data from the main memory of the CPU to the image memory without interfering the image updating. As a result, the present invention may allow continuously updating the display image and continuously writing new image data from CPU to the image memory which improves overall system performance.
