Abstract
In typical use, a liquid crystal display (LCD) with high resolution, brightness and
color saturation can consume over half the total system power in a modern mobile
device. This paper examines LCD optical transmittance and system electrical design
to extend battery run time. By applying a solid understanding of critical optical
parameters and complementary system design, a low power “Green” display can be
achieved. The LCD in the Pixel Chromebook [1], will be used as a baseline for
discussion.
