Abstract
An image rendering system comprising a pixel array and variable-density column and row scanner circuits is disclosed. The variable-density column and row scanner circuits enable software-based reconfiguration of the active display area within the available screen area of the display. In addition, a hardware restore-to-black function is provided that enables pixels outside of the desired image region to be driven to black without their requiring image data or excitation. As a result, the functionality of the functionality of the display can be reconfigured to match the desired image region on a frame-by-frame basis. Therefore, displays in accordance with the present invention can operate at higher frame rates and with less power consumption that prior-art displays.
