Abstract
Various methods, systems, and apparatus for implementing aspects of latency control in display devices are disclosed. According to aspects of the disclosed invention, a source device commands a display device to minimize the delay between the time that image data enters the display device and the time that it is shown on the display device. In one embodiment, the source device transmits data to the display device that specifies whether the display device should time optimize the image data, such as by transmitting a data packet for this purpose either with the image data or on an auxiliary communication link. In another embodiment, the source device and the display device are coupled via an interconnect that comprises multi-stream capabilities, and each stream is associated with a particular degree of latency optimization.
