    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of reducing display image power consumption while maintaining image quality on display devices having a plurality of display power modes. Each display power mode has associated therewith a defined baseline value (K1,BASELINE) first relationship. A display image includes a baseline percentage under-boosted pixels (Xi,BASELINE). Using the first relationship value (K1,BASELINE) and the pixel percentage (Xi,BASELINE), a baseline second relationship value is determined (K0,BASELINE). The value associated with the second relationship is adjusted to a first plurality of values. At each value, the value associated with the pixel percentage is adjusted to each of a second plurality of values. At each combination of second relationship value and pixel percentage, a respective first relationship value is determined. A first relationship value, second relationship value are selected to provide a reduced power consumption while maintaining image quality.

    Abstract: Techniques for displaying content on an OLED display while decreasing the appearance of image sticking are provided. In an example, a computing system, includes an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display and a memory to store pixel history values for blocks of pixels in the OLED display. A granularity selector determines a size for the blocks of pixels in the OLED display.

    Abstract: Techniques for implementing aging compensation for a display are described. An example of an electronic device includes a display with a plurality of pixels, each pixel including one or more Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The electronic device also includes a wear compensation unit. The wear compensation unit is configured to receive input frame data corresponding to content to be displayed, determine a wear compensation configuration that identifies which of the plurality of pixels are compensated pixels and which are non-compensated pixels, and generate output frame data by adjusting the input frame data associated with the compensated pixels based on a degree of aging of the LEDs of the compensated pixels.

    Abstract: An example computing device comprises a processor to be coupled to a display device, and a boot controller coupled to the processor and to be coupled to the display device. The boot controller is configured to detect a power signal, receive sensor data detected by one or more sensors prior to an operating system being loaded by a boot process of the processor, determine a posture associated with the display device based on the sensor data detected by the one or more sensors, and communicate, to the display device, posture information indicating the posture associated with the display device. Pre-boot content is to be displayed on a display panel of the display device in a first arrangement based on the posture information. In more specific embodiments, determining the posture includes determining at least an orientation of the display device and whether a peripheral is present on the display device.

    Abstract: Technologies for performing a simplified pixel shifting scheme on a display (e.g., an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display) are disclosed herein. An electronic device presents, on the display, a virtual display having an active area and a margin area surrounding the active area. The active area is to display content (e.g., image data, video data, etc.), and an amount of pixels in the virtual display is greater than an amount of pixels in the active area. The electronic device is also to shift the pixels of the active area within the virtual display according to a pixel shifting technique and update a touch coordinate offset for the touch screen interface based on the shift.

    Abstract: Example display power management control circuitry is to determine a baseline image quality parameter associated with a baseline display power mode based on: a baseline first relationship parameter associated with a first relationship between original and boosted pixel values; a baseline percentage of pixels having a color value; and a baseline second relationship parameter associated with a second relationship between the numbers of original pixel values and boosted pixel values; determine a value of a subsequent first relationship parameter based on an adjusted second relationship parameter and a second percentage of pixels having the color value; determine a second image quality parameter associated with the subsequent first relationship parameter, the adjusted second relationship parameter, and the second percentage of pixels; and select the subsequent first relationship parameter and the adjusted second relationship parameter based on comparing the second image quality parameter to the baseline image quality parameter.
