Depth-based dynamic lightness adjustment power-saving algorithm for AMOLED in head-mounted display.

Most of the head-mounted displays take the active-matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) as the primary display panel because of its displaying superiorities. Yet, the AMOLED displays are still regarded as power-hungry components; in order to reduce the power consumption of AMOLED displays, the input image would be suppressed based on the proposed dynamic lightness adjustment algorithm that incorporates the depth information from the stereoscopic images which indicates the saliency, and the lightness of image pixel-wisely. The experiments reveal that the proposed method could achieve the approximately high power-saving rate with lower computational overheads compared to the existing methods.
