Abstract
Methods and devices for displaying content in a power efficient manner are disclosed. In accordance with many embodiments, content is received that includes a plurality of subcomponents, and a subcomponent with a larger surface is darkened so as to generate at least one darkened subcomponent. In addition, a contrast of selected ones of the subcomponents is adjusted so as to enable the selected ones of the subcomponents to be viewed against the darkened subcomponent while others of the plurality of subcomponents are left in their source format.
