Abstract
A display control device for a light-emissive display comprising: input means for receiving display data defining a visual display pattern, processing means for processing the display data to generate control data for controlling the pixels of the display and having a first, normal mode of operation in which it controls the pixels to display the pattern as defined by the display data, and a second, power-saving mode of operation in which it controls a set of pixels of the display to operate with reduced power consumption whilst maintaining display of the pattern, and output means for connection to the pixels to transmit the control data to the pixels.
