Abstract
A control method for bi-stable displaying is provided, using queues for storing coordinates to achieve pipeline parallel processing on display data, thereby increasing display speed. In a preceding stage of the display process, because a plurality of queues may be used for temporarily storing part of the display data which is then reconstructed into complete display data to update a current frame buffer, comparing pixel data and generating driving data can be simultaneously preformed upon a plurality of line segments. Moreover, in a succeeding stage of the display process, a similar process may be performed to update a previous frame buffer, so access time can be reduced and errors caused by overlapping image blocks can also be avoided. Furthermore, the method may be also applied to a timing controller and a bi-stable display device.
