Electronic display power management systems and methods

Abstract:

An electronic device may include a display panel to display images based on corresponding image data and an image source to pre-render a flip-book including a first image frame for display at a first target presentation time and a second image frame for display at a second target presentation time. The electronic device may also include a display pipeline coupled between the display panel and the image source having image data processing circuitry to process image data for display. The electronic device may also include a controller to instruct the display pipeline to process image data, to determine a power-on time based on a target presentation time, and to instruct the display pipeline to power-gate the image data processing circuitry upon completion of the processing of image data and until the power-on time is reached.
