Embodiment mono-
In some optional embodiments, provide a kind of display system.Fig. 1 is that the present invention is the structural representation of a kind of display system of providing of embodiment mono-.
As shown in Figure 1, this display system at least comprises: central processing unit 101, memory device 102, display controller 103, display device 104, and other equipment 105.Wherein, in memory device 102, at least comprise two block caches: main display frame buffer memory 1021 and standby display frame buffer memory 1022.
Wherein, central processing unit 101, for controlling display controller 103; Preferably, for example can control display controller 103 display mode, the condition of having switched interruption is set, and the switching etc. of controlling display frame buffer memory; Also for accessing storage device 102 and read and write data; Preferably, central processing unit 101 is also for sending control command (switching the order of display frame buffer memory) to display controller 103, also, for responding interrupt request, indication blocked operation, switches the main display frame buffer memory in driver 1021 and standby display frame buffer memory 1022.
Memory device 102, for storing display frame, comprising: be read and the display frame showing and the Frame that will be read and show.Main display frame buffer memory 1021, for storing current N the display frame that is being read and is showing, when main display frame buffer memory 1021 is being read display frame, does not allow to be updated, and does not allow to carry out write operation, to prevent showing that tearing appears in image.Standby display frame buffer memory 1022, for storing (N+1) individual display frame that will be read and show, it can be upgraded by central processing unit 101 or other equipment 105.
Display controller 103, for reading displayed frame the main display frame buffer memory 1021 from memory device 102, after certain processing, sends display device 104 to according to 104 receptible modes of display device; Preferably, display controller 103 is also for generating interrupt request, and sends it to central processing unit 101.
Display device 104, for being shown as image by display frame.
Preferably, in video switch process, adopt the concrete treatment scheme of ping-pong operation as follows: data stream is assigned to data buffer: in main display frame buffer memory 1021 and standby display frame buffer memory 1022.At first buffer circle, the data flow cache of input is arrived to main display frame buffer memory 1021.At second buffer circle, by the switching of display controller 103, the data flow cache of input is arrived to standby display frame buffer memory 1022, meanwhile, by 1021 data of main display frame buffer memory (the first field picture data), by the selection of display controller 103, deliver to display device 104 and show.At the 3rd buffer circle, by the switching again of display controller 103, the data flow cache of input is arrived to main display frame buffer memory 1021, meanwhile, the data (the second field picture data) of standby display frame buffer memory, by the switching of display controller 103, are delivered to display device 104 and shown.So circulation, goes round and begins again.
The maximum feature of ping-pong operation is by display controller 103, by beat, switch, by delivering to without a break display device 104 through the data stream of buffering, shows with cooperatively interacting.The main display frame buffer memory 1021 of ping-pong operation and standby display frame buffer memory 1022 are used as to an integral body, the input traffic at its two ends and output stream are all continuously, without any pause, be therefore applicable to very much carrying out pipeline, complete seamless buffering and the processing of data.
Page-flip method (being sometimes referred to as table tennis buffering), rather than copy data, two buffer zones are to show (these two is all at VRAM).In any one time, a monitoring that buffering is being shown energetically, and other rear buffer zone is attracted.After completing, two people's role transforming.The data that the pointer being normally worth by modification that page-flip completes starts are presented at video memory.
This page-flip is far away faster than copy data, and can guarantee to tear by can not be in sight, as long as the page switches in the vertical blanking time interval of monitor---and do not have video data to be attracted blank period.Current enlivening with visible buffer zone is called main display frame buffer memory, and background pages is known as " standby display frame buffer memory ".
In computer graphics, double buffering technology shows there is no (or still less) flicker for graphing.
It is a very difficult program, draws one and shows so that pixel does not change more than once.The text that for example upgrades the page is easy cleaning full page more, then mail than eliminating in some way all pixels, no matter be old and new alphabetical.Yet this intermediate image is seen as flicker by user.In addition the continuous visible video page (about 60 times/second) again of computer display device, therefore, even if a perfect renewal can be seen that moment is the image of the separatrix " newly " between level and the image of un-redrawn " old ", is called and tears.
All mapping operations that software is realized double buffering are stored their result at the system RAM of certain areas; Any such area is commonly called one " going back to buffer zone ".When all mapping operations are considered to complete, whole distract (or just having changed part) copies to video-ram (buffer zone above); This grating light beam that copies normally synchronous display device is torn avoiding.Double buffering necessarily needs more video memory and CPU time than unmarried buffering, because video memory is distributed to back buffer zone, replicate run time, the time is waited for synchronous.
Synthesis window manager often, in conjunction with " copying " operation and " synthesizing " window for position, is converted into scale or distortion effect, makes partially transparent.Therefore the buffer zone before may only comprise combination picture and appear in screen, although the image that has different " going back to buffer zone " every non-composited window to comprise whole windows content.
