METHOD AND SYSTEM USABLE ON HIGH-RESOLUTION DISPLAY WHEN TWO-DIMENSIONAL GRAPHICS WINDOW IS UTILIZED TOGETHER WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL GRAPHICS WINDOW

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to display icons, menu and text for GUI having good visibility and operability in a two-dimensional graphics window simultaneously with displaying graphics of fine pitch in a three-dimensional graphics window on the high-resolution display. PSOLUTION: A graphics pipeline for use together with the high-resolution display includes a frame buffer including a first mode region and a second mode region, and a display pipeline. The control mechanism of the display pipeline provides the display with the pixels from the first mode as they are, expands the pixels from the second mode region and provides the display with the expanded pixels.
