N2 - A modified direct binary search (DBS) algorithm which minimizes the flickers on the stationary regions has been proposed for electronic paper (ePaper) in our previous work. Acceptable video quality can be achieved in one iteration, but the high time complexity of DBS algorithm still leads to the difficulty of implementing it on an ePaper system. In general, the ePaper is equipped with a low-power microcontroller. It is infeasible to perform real-time video halftoning on such a hardware platform. This paper presents a novel hardware architecture based on a parallel video halftoning algorithm, for electronic papers. This halftoning engine performs DBS for four pixels in a macro block or in different macro blocks parallelly.
