Abstract

An apparatus includes a display device having a pixel and vector storage, and a by-pass mode and an interpolation mode, wherein the interpolation mode converts input data from an input frame rate to a display refresh rate based on pixel and vector data stored in the storage. A method includes determining a selected interpolation mode to be employed by a frame interpolator, retrieving pixel data and vector data received from a host system from a storage, and generating interpolated frames of display data according to the selected interpolation mode.
