此外,隨著不同操作模式的需求,提高頻率以搭配不同解析度,亦是業界努力方向之一。故而,如何能在不提高電路成本下,達成符合操作模式、解析度與操作頻率的切換,亦是業界努力方向之一。 In addition, with the demands of different operating modes, increasing the frequency to match different resolutions is also one of the industry's efforts. Therefore, how to achieve switching in accordance with the operating mode, resolution and operating frequency without increasing the circuit cost is also one of the efforts of the industry.
