LG filed 1 patent this quarter in Hardware.
The filing addresses display technology that dynamically adjusts frame rates for video signals from various sources, including gaming consoles, PCs, and Streaming devices. This Hardware technology aims to prevent screen tearing and frame drops when handling content with different refresh rates.
LG's Hardware patent tackles the challenge of maintaining smooth video playback when sources switch between different frame rates. The display technology employs a three-tier detection method to identify the correct frame rate: it first examines AVI frequency information embedded in the signal, then checks VSIF buffer data if that fails, and finally calculates the rate directly from the video signal's technical parameters like horizontal and vertical resolution combined with pixel clock timing. This layered approach ensures the display can continuously adapt without interruption, even when gaming consoles or Streaming devices shift refresh rates on the fly.
