Information handling system display image management during power transitions

A method for transitioning a display to an off state, the method comprising:

• generating illumination with a backlight having phosphor material to enhance the illumination;
• passing the illumination through a display panel having an array of pixels that define visual images for presentation at the display panel;
• detecting an input timing change;
• and
• powering off the array of pixels within a predetermined time of powering off the backlight by cutting off current supplied to the array of pixels by a power supply.

A display comprising:

• a liquid crystal display panel operable to generate visual images with an array of liquid crystal pixels;
• a backlight operable to illuminate the array of liquid crystal pixels, the backlight having plural light emitting diodes to generate illumination and phosphor material to enhance the illumination;
• and
• a scalar that manages visual image presentation, the scalar responding to an input timing change at the display by powering off the array of pixels within a predetermined time of powering off the backlight, the array of pixels having power off to all pixels simultaneously by cutting off current supplied to the array of pixels from a power supply
