Selective reduction of pixel intensity to enhance energy efficiency during display of an image

Abstract:

According to one implementation, a system for enhancing energy efficiency during display of an image through selective reduction of pixel intensity includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to receive a first image including multiple pixels and having a first display power consumption when displayed on a display, and to change the intensity of each of a predetermined subset of the pixels of the first image into a predetermined intensity to generate a second image. The second image has a second display power consumption when displayed on the display, the predetermined intensity being such that the second display power consumption is lower than the first display power consumption.
