Abstract

A display includes a power supply system using a power controller to switch a power switch to control power delivery, and an image scalar receiving a supply voltage and a supply current from the power supply system. An apparatus and method are proposed to determine a control signal in a standby mode by monitoring the supply voltage or the supply current, to wake up or turn off the power controller to reduce the switching times of the power switch in the standby mode, thereby reducing the switching loss of the power switch and the standby power consumption of the display.
