VARIABLE REFRESH RATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18542696 titled 'VARIABLE REFRESH RATE

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a display controller with a variable refresh rate circuit that can display dithered segments of video frames while receiving subsequent frames.

  • The variable refresh rate circuit receives a first video frame and displays a dithered segment of it while receiving a second video frame.
  • Once the first dithered segment is displayed and the second video frame is received, the circuit displays a dithered segment of the second frame.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Variable refresh rate circuit for displaying dithered segments of video frames.
  • Seamless transition between displaying segments of different video frames.

Potential Applications:

  • Gaming monitors
  • Virtual reality headsets
  • High-speed displays

Problems Solved:

  • Smooth display of video frames with varying refresh rates.
  • Reduced motion blur and tearing in fast-paced video content.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced visual experience for users.
  • Improved display quality for fast-moving content.

Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in gaming monitors, virtual reality headsets, and high-speed displays to provide a smoother and more immersive visual experience for users.

Questions about the Technology 1. How does the variable refresh rate circuit improve the display quality of video frames? 2. What are the potential drawbacks of using dithered segments in displaying video frames?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in variable refresh rate technology and its applications in display controllers for various devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display controller includes a variable refresh rate circuit. The variable refresh rate circuit is configured to receive a first video frame, and provide a first dithered segment of the first video frame comprising instructions to display the first dithered segment during reception of a second video frame. The variable refresh rate circuit is also configured to, responsive to reception of the second video frame and completion of display of the first dithered segment, provide a second dithered segment of the second video frame comprising instructions to display the second dithered segment.
