Display controller, electronic instrument, and method of supplying image data
First Claim
1. A display controller for supplying image data to a display driver for driving a display panel, comprising:
- a memory storing at least three frames of image data;
a write starting address register to which a write starting address for writing image data in the memory is set;
a read starting address register to which a read starting address register for reading out image data to be supplied to the display driver from the memory is set; and
a rotation control section performing control for reading out image data obtained by rotating the orientation of an image by reading out image data for each pixel stored in the memory in an order corresponding to the rotational angle, wherein when writing of image data to the area designated by the write starting address is completed, the write starting address set in the write starting address register is updated with a write starting address for writing image data of the succeeding frame, and the previous value of the updated write starting address is set to the read starting address register as the read starting address, and image data corresponding to the rotated image and read out by the rotation control section from an area of the memory designated by the read starting address is supplied to the display driver.

Abstract
A display controller includes a memory storing at least three frames of image data, a write starting address register to which a write starting address is set, a read starting address register to which a read starting address is set, and a rotation control section performing control for reading out from the memory image data corresponding to an image whose orientation is rotated. When writing of the image data to the area designated by the write starting address is completed, the write starting address is updated and the previous value of the updated write starting address is set to the read starting address register. The image data corresponding to the rotated image is read out by the rotation control section 40 from an area of the memory designated by the read starting address, and then supplied to a display driver.

13. A method of supplying image data to a display driver for driving a display panel, comprising:
-
writing image data to a part of an area of a memory storing at least three frames of image data, the part of the area being designated by a write starting address set in a write starting address register;
setting the write starting address to a read starting address register upon completion of writing of the image data, the read starting address register storing a read starting address for reading out from the memory image data to be supplied to the display driver; and
reading out image data of each pixel from an area of the memory designated by the read starting address set in the read starting address register in an order corresponding to a rotational angle to supply to the display driver as rotated image data obtained by rotating the orientation of an image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
