Abstract

See full text

Techniques are described in which pixel intensity values of a display of a computing device may be nonlinearly scaled down to reduce the power consumption of the display. The computing device may determine a compressed pixel brightness range for the display. The computing device may determine a set of initial scaled pixel intensity levels based at least in part on the compressed pixel intensity range. The computing device may determine a set of scaled pixel intensity values based at least in part on an estimated power consumption value associated with the set of initial scaled pixel intensity levels. The computing device may scale the pixel brightness of pixels of the display from one of a plurality of pixel intensity levels to a corresponding scaled pixel intensity level of the set of scaled pixel intensity levels.
