Patent ID: 11948535
Assignee: NOVATEK MICROELECTRONICS CORP.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A display control circuit, configured to output a tearing effect (TE) signal to an application processor and receive an image frame from the application processor, the display control circuit comprising:
a data processing circuit, configured to generate a notification signal when the data processing circuit is ready to receive the image frame from the application processor; and
a timing controller, configured to receive the notification signal from the data processing circuit, and generate the TE signal having a first frequency during a period from a first time point when the notification signal is received to a second time point when the application processor starts transmitting the image frame to the data processing circuit, wherein the first frequency is greater than a reference frequency based on an output frame rate of the display control circuit.
