  • Publication number: 20240038166
    Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display system comprises an OLED array and a power management system that includes at least one voltage generator for the OLED array. A timing microcontroller comprises a decoder/encoder configured to receive HDR pixel data and output display pixel data. A portion of the HDR pixel data is sampled and a luminance index value of the sampled portion is determined, where the luminance index value corresponds to a maximum luminance of the sampled portion. The luminance index value is used to control the at least one voltage generator to reduce power consumption of the OLED display system.
