Abstract

Techniques are described for controlling display of video data and/or other image data based at least in part on selective mapping of pixel values to pixels. Such techniques may include separating a display panel into multiple regions, with at least one primary region having a highest resolution of displayed image data and with one or more secondary regions having one or more lower resolutions of displayed image data (e.g., by using a 1-to-M mapping of image pixel values to display panel pixels for each such secondary region, where M is greater than 1, such that each such image pixel value controls the display of M such pixels). The image data may further be encoded and optionally decoded in accordance with such a display panel arrangement, such as to encode the image data per the display panel arrangement to reduce its size before transmission to the display panel.
