Either a horizontally long image or a vertically long image is displayed in the center of a display screen that is vertically and horizontally isotropic and assumes the shape of a square rotated 45 degrees or a circle. An ordinary display device is tilted 45 degrees to form a square display screen that is rotated 45 degrees. Electronic paper is used, and slow rewriting speed is addressed by rewriting the image during nighttime sleeping hours. The speed at which monochrome images are rewritten is matched with that of color images to alleviate any feeling of strangeness when the monochrome and color images are combined. | 10-27-2011 |

The display unit includes: a display panel displaying the image according to the image data; and a local processor receiving the data detected by the sensor and controlling the display panel by using the data without intervention of the host processor. | 01-07-2016 |
20160063680 | Image Raster Rotation - A method allows changing an image raster direction from an application raster direction to a screen raster direction, in-flight while pixel values of an image are transferred successively from an application output memory to a display unit. A single buffer memory array is implemented between the application output memory and the display unit. Two writing orders for cells of the buffer memory array are used in turn, each being combined with a different reading order for the cells. The method can be hardware-implemented, and is adapted for burst-handling of the pixel values. | 03-03-2016 |
20160093272 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM STORING INSTRUCTIONS EXECUTABLE BY THE INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions executable by an information processing device including an operation device and a display. The instructions cause the information processing device to: display a first image; display a cropping frame for cropping of the first image when the operation device accepts a user operation for displaying the cropping frame in a state in which the first image is displayed; rotate the first image about a center of the cropping frame when the operation device accepts a user operation for rotating the first image in a state in which the first image and the cropping frame are displayed; and rotate the first image about a center of the first image when the operation device accepts a user operation for rotating the first image in a state in which the first image is displayed, and the cropping frame is not displayed. | 03-31-2016 |
