Abstract
Examples of illumination of display units are described. In an example, a display unit is illuminated for a first portion of a time period to display a display frame. The time period is a threshold time period. Further, the display unit is illuminated for an additional portion of the time period after the time period in response to determination of a frame absence condition at an end of the time period.
Claims15
A method of illumination of a display unit, the method comprising:
- causing, by a processing resource, illumination of the display unit for a first portion of a time period to display a display frame, the time period being a threshold time period;
- determining, by a processing resource, a frame absence condition at an end of the time period;
- and
- causing, by a processing resource, illumination of the display unit for an additional portion of the time period after the time period in response to the determination of the frame absence condition.
A system comprising:
- a display unit;
- a processor coupled to the display unit;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- cause illumination of the display unit for a first portion of a time period in response to rendering of a display frame, the time period being a threshold time period;
- determine a frame absence condition at an end of the time period;
- and
- in response to the determination of the frame absence condition, cause illumination of the display unit, at the end of the time period, for an additional portion of the time period after every second portion of the time period, until a subsequent display frame is rendered.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- cause illumination of a display unit for a first portion of a time period to display a first display frame, the time period being a threshold time period;
- determine a frame absence condition at an end of the time period after displaying the first display frame;
- and
- cause illumination of the display unit for the first portion of the time period and an additional portion of the time period in response to rendering of a second display frame and the determination of the frame absence condition.
