Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus for displaying information via a display device, the display device having a display panel provided with driving electronics, the electronic apparatus comprising: a controller for selecting at least one application for the display device; a memory for storing at least display parameters related to said application and for providing said display parameters to an interface between the electronic apparatus and the display device, the display parameters comprising at least one of: a number of lines to be displayed, a number of columns to be displayed, parameters related to driving transistors of the display device, and power saving parameters for the display device; and a processor for sending a sequence of data blocks to the controller during a time interval for driving at least one dummy line of a frame, wherein no image data is to be sent to the display device during the time interval for driving said at least one dummy line, wherein one of the data blocks is a predetermined bit pattern to be recognized by the controller, and wherein the display parameters are provided in the remaining data blocks of the sequence; wherein if the controller does not recognize the predetermined bit pattern, the display parameters provided in the remaining data blocks of the sequence are ignored; and wherein if the controller recognizes the predetermined bit pattern, the display parameters are loaded from the remaining data blocks of the sequence into the memory.
