Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving a transmission of image data by an image data receiver; initiating a color processing operation on the image data, without an external command to initiate the color processing operation, the image data receiver initiating the color processing operation in response to completion of the transmission of image data when the image data receiver is configured to automatically initiate the color processing operation in response to completion of the transmission of image data; updating display pixels of a display matrix of an electro-optic display device; initiating a display update operation, the image data receiver initiating the display update operation in response to completion of the color processing operation; fetching a data pixel corresponding with a particular display pixel from a first buffer; fetching a first synthesized pixel corresponding with the particular display pixel from a second buffer; determining if a waveform for updating the display state of the particular display pixel has finished; and if the waveform for updating the display state of the particular display pixel has not finished, omitting the particular display pixel from the display update operation.
