PREDICTIVE DISPLAY POWER CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS

The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to operating conditions, additional data, and/or predicting that the electronic display is not going to be viewed or visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on a prediction of when a viewer is expected to view the electronic display, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.
