This is the technique of quickly searching and viewing images stored in cell phones. With the conventional technique, when displaying high-definition photographs and images, all the compressed images are decompressed before the display. However, "ImageSurf®" decompresses only a part of the compressed image files which is required for the display. Therefore, it can swiftly display the images and also magnify a curious part at speed. As it only processes an area required for the image display, the memory usage was successfully largely reduced.

The thumbnail display feature provides several types of approaches including "Grid" for grid displaying and "Ring" for spiral displaying. Thumbnails can be displayed fast with lighter CPU load.
