News BOE and Intel's Winning Display reduces power consumption by 65% using AI-driven 1 to 120 Hz dynamic refresh

[Admin]

During the recent BOE Global Innovation Partner Conference 2024 (BOE IPC 2024) the firm claimed that its new Winning Display 1 Hz tech could reduce screen power consumption by 65%. The new tech, with Intel Intelligent Display Technology 2.0 (IIDT 2.0), utilizes AI smarts and will debut on Lunar Lake laptops.

Putting AI against power usage is a convincing application for the benefit of AI.

This is just the existing Panel Self Refresh protocol built into eDP v1.3 (and reused for DP Adaptive Sync, rebranded by AMD as Freesync) from over a decade ago, just with "AI" slapped onto it. PSR2 already introduced segmented refreshing (updating content on one section of the panel but leaving the rest statically self-refreshing) so that's not new either.

So the 65% power saving is from usage experienced a decade ago?

Kewl! I never knew this. Good stuff.
This "AI" is about ten lines of code, but OK, ROFLMAO.

How does this differ from existing LTPO displays present on smartphones, such as the S24? They too have 1hz - 120hz displays.

Apparently so, but they speak of AI monitoring mouse and head movements, so apparently we have old technology with tracking installed? What?

In other words, it's the display driver rather than the display (screen) itself that helps with power savings by intelligently steering refresh-rates and local dimming of display parts.
