Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computational device that determines, based on a sensed electronic storage device (ESD) parameter, to reduce energy usage by first display elements, but not by second display elements and apply different sets of display parameters to the first and second display elements, whereby a first level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements is less than a second level of energy/unit area used by the second display elements.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: determining, by a framework and based on a sensed electronic storage device (ESD) parameter, to reduce energy usage of a plurality of first display elements, but not a plurality of second display elements, in at least one display; and applying, by the framework, a first set of display parameters to the first display elements and a second set of display parameters to the second display elements, the values of one or more display parame…
