Preferred embodiment of the invention

The preferred embodiments of the present invention are explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The features of the embodiments of the present invention and the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.

The embodiments of the present invention are mainly applied to a terminal device having a self-illuminating screen, controlling the display of the self-illuminating screen, thereby achieving the effect of reducing power consumption; the self-illuminating screen, also referred to as a second-generation display screen, such as AMOLED (Active Matrix) /Organic Light Emitting Diode, which is different from the currently used backlight screen, which is displayed by the pixels in the self-illuminating screen, so that it does not need backlight Further, the power consumption of the self-illuminating screen is controlled by adjusting the display effect of the current interface of the self-illuminating screen.

In the self-illuminating screen, each pixel is illuminated by red, green and blue independent luminescent materials, and the ratio of the three colors is adjusted according to the principle of chromatogram formation to achieve the effect of displaying different colors, when displaying different colors, The light is different and the power consumption is different. When the black color is displayed, the pixel does not emit any light, and basically does not consume power. When it is white, it is red, green, and blue. Therefore, the power consumption is the largest, and the power consumption of the screen of the conventional TFT (Thin Film Transistor, a thin film field effect transistor, a backlit screen) is exceeded; while the end user often uses white as the background area of the current interface. The color causes a large amount of electric energy to be consumed by the self-illuminating screen. If the illuminating color of the background area of the current interface can be changed, the power saving can be achieved to a certain extent, and the embodiment of the present invention replaces the low-power color. In the current mainstream terminal, the illuminating color of the different areas of the self-illuminating screen is used to achieve the power saving effect, and for the sake of easy understanding, the present invention relates to Power Color "is defined:

Calculated according to the amount of power consumed by the pixel in the self-illuminating screen, if the pixel is assumed to be monochrome When the red light (color color value, brightness, saturation is maximum) consumes 0.5 unit, green light (color color value, brightness, saturation is maximum) consumes 0.3 units of light, blue light (color) When the color value, brightness, and saturation are maximum, the amount of power consumed is 0.2 units. Then, when the white light (color color value, brightness, and saturation is maximum), the amount of power consumed is 1 unit, and black light is emitted (no light is emitted). The amount of electricity consumed is 0 units, and the amount of electricity consumed in dark gray (color color value, brightness, and saturation is 0.1 units), other colors (such as mixed colors, such as red and blue mixed yellow, etc.) The power consumption of the color color value, the brightness, and the color of the color in the color is also less than 1 unit; then, in order to highlight the power saving effect of the embodiment of the present invention, the low power color referred to in the embodiment of the present invention It refers to all the illuminating colors whose power consumption is less than 1 unit, that is, all the colors except white light. Alternatively, it can only include all the colors consumed by the pixels when the light is emitted is less than 0.5 units, among them, black, gray and Monochrome is best, Black most power, monochromatic light show good results, of course, in practical applications, low power consumption can also be selected according to the color of the end-user preferences, such as yellow, purple and the like;
