Abstract
Example methods, apparatuses, or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, to facilitate or support one or more operations or techniques for affecting control signals to a display device to selectively reduce power to at least some individually controllable emissive elements in the display device. In one implementation, some of the individually controllable emissive elements of a display device may be configured to not emit visible light while a remaining portion continues presentation of the visible image according to one or more conditions local to the display device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting one or more portions of a display device that are at least partially obscured from view, the display device comprising a plurality of individually controllable emissive elements, wherein detecting one or more portions of the display device that are at least partially obscured from view comprises processing signals from an image capture device to detect one or more objects in a line-of-sight of one or more viewers between the one or more viewers and the display device;
- and
- affecting control signals to the display device to selectively reduce power to at least some of the individually controllable emissive elements corresponding to at least one of the one or more portions of the display device.
A controller device, comprising:
- circuitry to detect one or more portions of a display device that are at least partially obscured from view, the display device comprising a plurality of individually controllable emissive elements, wherein the detection of one or more portions of the display device that are at least partially obscured from view comprises circuitry to process signals from an image capture device to detect one or more objects in a line-of-sight of one or more viewers between the one or more viewers and the display device;
- and
- circuitry to affect control signals to the display device to selectively reduce power to at least some of the individually controllable emissive elements corresponding to at least one of the one or more portions of the display device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable code for fabrication of an apparatus comprising:
- circuitry to detect one or more portions of a display device that are at least partially obscured from view, the display device comprising a plurality of individually controllable emissive elements, wherein the detected one or more portions of the display device that are at least partially obscured from view comprises circuitry to process signals from an image capture device to detect one or more objects in a line-of-sight of one or more viewers between the one or more viewers and the display device;
- and
- circuitry to affect control signals to the display device to selectively reduce power to at least some of the individually controllable emissive elements corresponding to at least one of the one or more portions of the display device.
