Abstract

A method of storing an image on a storage device in a tiled format is provided. The method includes formatting the storage device to include a block size such that a tile size is an integer multiple of the block size, and the tile size corresponds to a display output. The method further includes reading pixel data of a source image; and generating, from the read pixel data, a first tile and a second tile. The first tile and the second tile each have overlapping portions that overlap by an adjustable amount, and the overlapping portions include substantially identical pixel data. The method also includes storing the first tile and the second tile on the storage device; and repeating the reading, generating, and storing a plurality of times to store the image. The image is stored on the storage device as a contiguous string of data.
