Abstract

A display driver includes first interface circuitry, a graphic memory, image processing circuitry, and drive circuitry. The first interface circuitry is configured to receive an edge illumination command from a controller external to the display driver. The graphic memory is configured to store image data. The image processing circuitry is configured to render an edge-illuminated image by overlaying an edge illumination graphic on a first image corresponding to the image data in response to the edge illumination command. The edge illumination graphic extends along an edge of a display region of a display panel. The drive circuitry is configured to drive the display panel based on the edge-illuminated image.
