It seems to me that the screen itself could be much faster than shown in the vidoes. I would like to put my hands on a development kit for this one
If anyone could come up with a good explenation why the refresh has to go from one side to the other, I would be very intressted in hearing it! |
All screens work that way, even your TV set. The only difference is that the speed is fast enough that you don't see it. One way to speed it up might be to slit the screen into smaller increments and then paint the data in a smaller area thereby increasing the apparent speed of the display. Computers are very serial devices and can only deal with one thing at a time but if fast enough you don't notice. The limitation is dependent on how much money you have and how much hardware you want to throw at the problem.
