Abstract
Power conservation techniques for foldable displays are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise at least one memory and logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in circuitry coupled to the memory, the logic to identify a use state of a display segment of a flexible display, determine whether to alter a power state of the display segment based on the use state of the display segment, and in response to a determination to alter the power state of the display segment, send a power control command to cause the display segment to initiate a power state transition. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims25
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in circuitry coupled to the memory, the logic to:
- identify a use state of a display segment of a flexible display;
- determine whether to alter a power state of the display segment based on the use state of the display segment;
- and
- in response to a determination to alter the power state of the display segment, send a power control command to cause the display segment to initiate a power state transition.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in drive circuitry for a display segment of a foldable display, the drive circuitry coupled to the memory, the logic to:
- detect a received power control command during operation of the drive circuitry according to a standard-power operating state, the power control command to be received from a graphics source;
- and
- in response to detection of the power control command, initiate a power state transition to cause the drive circuitry to operate according to a reduced-power operating state.
A system, comprising:
- a foldable display;
- and
- a graphics source to generate graphics data for transmission to the foldable display via a display interface, the graphics source to:
- identify a use state of a display segment of the foldable display;
- determine whether to alter a power state of the display segment based on the use state of the display segment;
- and
- in response to a determination to alter the power state of the display segment, send a power control command to cause the display segment to initiate a power state transition.
