Flexible Display Panel Driver Data Storage Deformation

The patent applies preliminary action by storing display data in advance before deformation occurs. The panel driver stores image data in a memory buffer prior to deformation, and then uses this pre-stored data to generate displayed images during deformation without requiring continuous data transfer from the host processor. This allows the system to adapt to changing exposed regions while eliminating the need for real-time data reception, thereby reducing power consumption during the deformation process.

The patent applies copying by creating a local copy of display data in the panel driver's memory buffer before deformation. Instead of continuously receiving fresh data from the host processor during deformation, the panel driver uses the pre-copied data and applies scaling operations to adapt it to the current exposed region. This copying approach ensures that the displayed information remains relevant while eliminating the energy-consuming continuous data transfer process.

The patent applies periodic action by performing scaling operations at specific intervals rather than continuously. The panel driver performs scaling operations on the pre-stored display data at discrete time points during deformation, generating a sequence of scaled images that correspond to different deformation states. This periodic processing approach reduces the overall processing time compared to continuous real-time scaling, while still maintaining adequate image adaptation to the changing exposed regions.
