ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY SIGNAL GENERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18389600 titled 'ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY SIGNAL GENERATOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a display panel that can switch between different power supplies based on the power consumption of the content being displayed.
- The controller of the electronic device can switch the power supply of the display panel to a power management integrated circuit when high power consumption is expected.
- Conversely, the controller can switch the power supply of the display panel to a power supply of an electronic display when low power consumption is expected.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices with displays to optimize power consumption based on the content being displayed.
Problems Solved
This technology helps to reduce power consumption and extend battery life in electronic devices by efficiently managing power supply based on the content being displayed.
Benefits
- Improved battery life in electronic devices - Enhanced power efficiency - Better user experience with optimized power management
Potential Commercial Applications
- Consumer electronics industry - Mobile device manufacturers - Display technology companies
Possible Prior Art

The article does not delve into the specific strategies used by the controller to manage power in different scenarios.
How does the switching between power supplies impact the overall performance of the electronic device?
The article does not address how the switching between power supplies may impact the overall performance of the electronic device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include a display panel. When content of an image frame is expected to consume relatively higher amounts of power, a controller of the electronic device may operate a switch to change a power supply of the display panel to be a power management integrated circuit of the electronic device. However, when content of an image frame is expected to consume relatively less amounts of power, the controller may operate the switch to change the power supply of the display panel to be a power supply of an electronic display, such as a power supply used to power driver circuitry of the electronic display.
