Selective pixel refresh for display power saving

A computing system for selectively refreshing a pixel in a line of pixels of a display, the computing system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors;
• a pixel selector executable by the one or more hardware processors and configured to select a pixel in the line of pixels by enabling a first connection between a source driver and an input of refresh circuitry of the pixel along a content data line, based at least in part on receipt of a pixel select signal corresponding to the pixel, wherein at least one of the pixels in the line of pixels is not selected;
• and
• a pixel refresher executable by the one or more hardware processors and configured to refresh, based at least in part on receiving a pixel refresh signal for the line of pixels, the selected pixel with content data provided using the content data line by enabling a second connection between the input of the refresh circuitry and the pixel along the content data line, wherein refreshing the selected pixel includes providing content data to the pixel using the content data line and not providing content data to the at least one of the pixels.
