Abstract

A screen synchronous control apparatus includes a reference timing transmitting unit 3 for transmitting a reference timing signal about display of a plurality of display screens 11, 12 , and 13 at predetermined intervals, a display control unit 1 for transmitting a drawing instruction for displaying display data on the plurality of display screens 11, 12 , and 13 , and a plurality of display processing units 101, 201 , and 301 each for receiving the drawing instruction transmitted from the display control unit 1 , for executing the drawing instruction according to the reference timing signal transmitted from the reference timing transmitting unit 3 , and for displaying the display data on the corresponding one of the display screens 11, 12 , or 13.

Claims (8)

1. A screen synchronous control apparatus comprising:

a reference timing transmitting unit for transmitting a reference timing signal about display of a plurality of display screens at predetermined intervals;

a display control unit for transmitting a drawing instruction for displaying display data on said plurality of display screens; and

a plurality of display processing units each for receiving the drawing instruction transmitted from said display control unit, for executing the drawing instruction in timing with receiving the reference timing signal transmitted from said reference timing transmitting unit separate from the drawing instruction, and for displaying the display data on a corresponding display screen,

wherein the reference timing transmitting unit includes a reference timing changing unit that changes the predetermined interval at which the reference timing signal is transmitted in order to allow each of the plurality of display processing units sufficient time to receive the drawing instruction.

2. The screen synchronous control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

said display control unit transmits the drawing instruction for displaying display data on said plurality of display screens to a predetermined display processing unit; and

said plurality of display processing units each receives the drawing instruction transmitted from said display control unit and then transfers it to an adjacent display processing unit, or receives the drawing instruction transferred thereto and then transfers it to another adjacent display processing unit, executes the drawing instruction according to the reference timing signal transmitted from said reference timing transmitting unit, and displays the display data on a corresponding display screen.
