EFFICIENTLY PROCESSING MULTIPLE NON-OVERLAPPING LAYER IMAGES IN DISPLAY PROCESSING UNITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18066034 titled 'EFFICIENTLY PROCESSING MULTIPLE NON-OVERLAPPING LAYER IMAGES IN DISPLAY PROCESSING UNITS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for efficiently processing multiple non-overlapping layer images in display processing units.
- Memory access pipeline circuits obtain image configuration data for each non-overlapping layer image and fetch the images from storage.
- The memory access pipeline circuits output each pixel of the layer images as part of an intermediate preblend image data stream.
- A layer mixer circuit blends the intermediate preblend image data stream with a background layer image data stream to create a display data stream for output to a display device.
Key Features and Innovation: - Efficient processing of multiple non-overlapping layer images - Use of memory access pipeline circuits to fetch and output image data - Layer mixer circuit for blending layer images with background images

Original Abstract Submitted
Efficiently processing multiple non-overlapping layer images in display processing units is disclosed herein. In this regard, in some exemplary aspects, a display processing unit comprising a plurality of memory access pipeline circuits and a layer mixer circuit is provided. For each non-overlapping layer image of a plurality of non-overlapping layer images, a memory access pipeline circuit obtains image configuration data for the non-overlapping layer image, and fetches the non-overlapping layer image from an image data storage device based on the image configuration data. The memory access pipeline circuit then outputs each pixel of the non-overlapping layer image as part of an intermediate preblend image data stream based on the image configuration data. The layer mixer circuit blends the intermediate preblend image data stream and a background layer image data stream comprising a background layer image as a display data stream, and outputs the display data stream to a display device.
