发明名称 Multi-channel, demand-driven display controller
摘要 A graphics system that may be shared between multiple display channels includes a frame buffer, two arbiters, a pixel buffer, and several display output queues. The first arbiter arbitrates between the display channels' requests for display information from the frame buffer and forwards a selected request to the frame buffer. The frame buffer outputs display information in response to receiving the forwarded request, and pixels corresponding to this display information are stored in the pixel buffer. Each display channel has a corresponding display output queue that provides data to a display and generates a request for pixels from the pixel buffer. A pixel request arbiter receives the pixel requests generated by the display output queues, selects one of the pixel requests, and forwards the selected request to the pixel buffer. In response, the pixel buffer outputs pixels to the display output queue that generated the selected pixel request.
