Abstract:
Image display apparatus, comprising:image display control means for programmably generating image display control signals;image buffer means having a plurality of addressable locations for storing image pixel data, said image buffer means having an output for coupling the stored image pixel data to an input of an image display means having a display screen, said image buffer means being configurable for both image pixel data write and image pixel data read accesses into one of a plurality of different x storage location by y storage location by z-bit configurations;means, having an input coupled to said output of said image buffer means, for converting image pixel data read from said image buffer means to electrical signals for driving the input of the image display means, said converting means including means, responsive to control signals generated by said image display control means, for generating one of a plurality of different timing formats for the electrical signals, wherein a generated one of the plurality of different timing formats is selected as a function of a display resolution of the image display means; andmeans, responsive to control signals generated by said image display control means, for configuring said image buffer means for both image pixel data write and image pixel data read accesses into one of said plurality of different x storage location by y storage location by z-bit configurations.
