HIGH SPEED DISPLAY INTERFACE

摘要

Methods and devices employing circuitry for dynamically adjusting bandwidth control of a display interface are provided. The display interface or image content is dynamically adjusted to support both high-speed image data (e.g., 120 Hz image data) and lower-speed content (e.g., 60 Hz content). For example, in some embodiments, additional pixel pipelines and/or processing lanes may be activated during the rendering of high-speed image data, but not during the rendering of low-speed image data. Additionally or alternatively, high-speed image data, but not low-speed data, may be compressed to render high-speed content over an interface that supports only low-speed content.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a refresh rate for content to be displayed on an electronic display; determining, based upon the refresh rate, a number of pixel pipelines of an interface, a number of lanes of the interface, or both to activate; activate the number of pixel pipelines, the number of lanes, or both; and provide the content for rendering at a display panel via the pixel pipelines and the lanes that are activated.
