Abstract
Embodiments of the invention generally provide a display device that includes a controller that is communicatively coupled between a display source and source drivers. The controller and source drivers include respective decompression engines that can decompress the compressed data received from the display source. Instead of sending all of the compressed data to the source drivers, the controller evaluates the uncompressed data and identifies what portion of the compressed data corresponds to each of the source drivers. Moreover, the controller may determine a decompression engine state that corresponds to each portion of the compressed data. The saved engine state is transmitted to the source drivers which then initialize their decompression engines using the engine states.
