Abstract:
1. A method of generating images, comprising: initializing driver circuitry in a display to receive image data corresponding to voltages to be delivered to pixels in the display at a first display refresh rate; transmitting the image data from a processor in an electronic device in which the display is located; receiving the image data at the driver circuitry; storing the image data in a frame buffer located in the driver circuitry; generating a first image for display on the display based on the image data; wherein when the image data is transmitted using a burst transmission over a high speed data connection, generating the first image for display comprises refreshing the first image at a second display refresh rate greater than the first display refresh rate; when the image data is transmitted using a transmission over a low speed data connection, generating the first image for display comprises refreshing the first image at the first display refresh rate; wherein the burst transmission comprises transmitting multiple frames of voltages that correspond to the first display refresh rate of the display during a first time period and allowing the processor to idle during a second time period; and displaying the first image on the display.
