Devices and methods for reducing power to drive pixels of a display

An array of pixels for an electronic display comprising:

• a first row of pixels comprising a first set of odd numbered pixels and a first set of even numbered pixels;
• a second row of pixels comprising a second set of odd numbered pixels and a second set of even numbered pixels;
• a third row of pixels comprising a third set of odd numbered pixels and a third set of even numbered pixels;
• a first gate line electrically coupled to and configured to drive the first set of even numbered pixels and the second set of odd numbered pixels;
• and
• a second gate line electrically coupled to and configured to drive the second set of even numbered pixels and the third set of odd numbered pixels.

An electronic device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• an electronic display comprising an array of pixels, wherein the electronic display is configured to:
• store data in pixels of a first set of pixels of the array of pixels during a first time period, and to store data in pixels of a second set of pixels of the array of pixels during a second time period, the first time period and the second time period are consecutive and occur during a single frame, the first set of pixels comprising a first portion of pixels from each row of pixels of the array of pixels, and the second set of pixels comprising a second portion of pixels from each row of pixels;
• and
• provide a first common voltage line (VCOM) voltage of a first value to the first set of pixels;
• and
• provide a second VCOM voltage of a second value to the second set of pixels.
