Occasionally the need arises to display two distinct images on the display. For example, we
may write a game where the main play area will rapidly update and we want a status display
at the bottom of the screen.
The Split Screen feature of the S1D13505 allows a programmer to setup a display for such
an application. The figure below illustrates setting a 320x240 panel to have Image 1
displaying from scan line 0 to scan line 99 and image 2 displaying from scan line 100 to
scan line 239. Although this example picks specific values, image 1 and image 2 can be
shown as varying portions of the screen
The other registers required for split screen operations, [10h] through [12h] (Screen 1
Display Start Address) and [18h] (Pixel Panning Register), are described in Section 5.2.1
on page 32.
