Intel filed 1 patent application in H1 2026, covering Graphics (1).
The filing addresses display technology for competitive gaming scenarios, specifically enabling instant switching between different resolution and refresh rate combinations such as 4K at 240Hz and 1080p at 480Hz. This zero-latency mode transition technology eliminates the screen blanking that typically occurs when displays change video parameters, allowing seamless visual adjustments during active gameplay.
The 1 Graphics patent centers on eliminating the delay that occurs when a display switches between different resolution and refresh rate configurations. Rather than allowing the screen to go dark and resynchronize, the filed application describes a method of padding lower-resolution frames with extra blank pixel data, keeping the pixel clock rate and total horizontal pixel width consistent across modes. This approach means the display Hardware never loses its timing reference, so the transition from one mode to another happens without any visible interruption.
