Abstract

An electronic device includes a display panel; a processor; and display driving integrated circuitry (DDIC). The DDIC is configured to control the display panel and includes an internal memory. The DDIC is configured to receive, from the processor while the processor operates in an active state, a first content including a plurality of images to be displayed based on a specified order through the display panel while the processor operates in a low-power state; store the first content in the internal memory; change a timing for outputting a signal corresponding to a state capable of receiving a second content based on a change of a location in which an image among the plurality of images is displayed through the display panel while the processor operates in the low-power state; and output the signal to the processor based on the changed timing.

Claims (22)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display panel;

a processor; and

display driving integrated circuitry (DDIC) configured to control the display panel, the DDIC including an internal memory,

wherein the DDIC is configured to:

while the processor operates in an active state, receive, from the processor, a first content including a plurality of images to be displayed based on a specified order through the display panel while the processor operates in a low-power state;

store the first content in the internal memory;

change a timing for outputting a signal corresponding to a state capable of receiving a second content based on a change of a location in which an image among the plurality of images is displayed through the display panel while the processor operates in the low-power state; and

output the signal to the processor based on the changed timing.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the signal requests to write a content, and

wherein the DDIC is further configured to store the second content transmitted from the processor in the internal memory based on receiving the signal in the processor.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second content is a content in which at least a portion of the first content is changed.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the DDIC is further configured to:

if displaying the image in a second location changed from a first location in the display panel, change the timing for outputting the signal to a first timing; and

if displaying the image in a third location changed from the first location in the display panel, change the timing for outputting the signal to a second timing distinct from the first timing.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the DDIC is further configured to:

change another timing for scanning data regarding the image based on the change of the location in which the image is displayed through the display panel;

change the timing for outputting the signal based on the changed another timing; and

output the signal to the processor based on the changed timing for outputting the signal.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the DDIC is further configured to:

change the timing for outputting the signal to a timing at which the scanning initiated based on the changed another timing is completed; and

output the signal to the processor based on the timing changed to the timing at which the scanning is completed.
