Abstract:
A system for displaying an image, comprising:an apparatus that outputs a plurality of first pixel data of a first prescribed resolution;a converting apparatus coupled to said system, said converting apparatus assigning a plurality of weighted values to said plurality of pixel data in a first direction and partially amplifying said plurality of first pixel data in a second direction to output a plurality of second pixel data; anda display device coupled to said converting apparatus to receive the plurality of second pixel data, said display device displaying the image of a second prescribed resolution based on the plurality of second pixel data, wherein the first and second directions are different directions, wherein said converting apparatus comprises:a data loading circuit coupled to said apparatus to receive the plurality of first pixel data;a conversion circuit coupled to said data loading circuit, which converts the plurality of first pixel data to the plurality of second pixel data; anda data output circuit coupled to said conversion circuit to receive the plurality of second pixel data for output to said display device, wherein each of said plurality of first and second pixel data comprises a prescribed number of bits, and said conversion circuit comprises:a connection circuitry coupled to said data loading circuit, said connection circuitry shifting the bits of corresponding first pixel data; andan arithmetic unit coupled to said connection circuitry, said arithmetic unit performs a prescribed arithmetic operation on the shifted first pixel data to output the plurality of second pixel data.
