Static image power management

A display device, comprising:

• a static image module, comprising:
• a static image determination module configured to:
• compare a current frame of image data to at least one previous frame of image data, and determine that the current frame of image data comprises a static image based on the comparison;
• and
• a static mode module configured to:
• responsive to determining that the current frame of image data comprises a static image, modify the current frame of image data to generate a modified frame of image data;
• store the modified frame of image data in a memory;
• and
• operate the display device in a static image mode, wherein the static image mode comprises reading the modified frame of image data from the memory to present the static image.

A display device, comprising:

• means for operating a display device in a standard mode to display images;
• means for comparing a current frame of image data to at least one previous frame of image data;
• means for determining that the current frame of image data comprises a static image based on the comparison;
• means for, responsive to determining that the current frame of image data comprises a static image, modifying the current frame of image data to generate a modified frame of image data;
• means for storing the modified frame of image data in a memory;
• and
• means for operating the display device in a static image mode, wherein the static image mode comprises reading the modified frame of image data from the memory to present the static image.

A computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions configured to cause a computing device to:

• operate a display device in a standard mode to display images;
• compare a current frame of image data to at least one previous frame of image data;
• determine that the current frame of image data comprises a static image based on the comparison;
• responsive to determining that the current frame of image data comprises a static image, modify the current frame of image data to generate a modified frame of image data;
• store the modified frame of image data in a memory;
• and
• operate the display device in a static image mode, wherein the static image mode comprises reading the modified frame of image data from the memory to present the static image.
