Background
Energy conservation is an important social awareness in the world today, and refers to a series of actions that reduce energy consumption and increase energy utilization as much as possible. The energy-saving definition proposed by the world energy commission in 1979 is: all measures which are feasible technically, reasonable economically and acceptable environmentally and socially are adopted to improve the utilization efficiency of energy resources. At present, people can not leave computers for work, entertainment, study and other activities. As display technology has advanced, computer displays come in different sizes (23.5 inches, 27 inches, 32 inches, 43 inches, 49 inches, 58 inches, etc.), different resolutions (1920 × 1080,2560 × 1440,2560 × 1080,3840 × 2160,3840 × 1080, etc.), and different display scales. (4:3, 16:9:, 21:9, 32:9, etc.). In fact, most of the display images are not displayed completely on the full screen when the computer display is used. When we browse a web page, the image resolution of the web page and the resolution of the display cannot be completely the same, so that the left and right sides of the web page image are both white sides or gray sides. When we see the network movie, the actual resolution of the movie and the resolution of the display cannot be completely consistent. Resulting in black borders on the top and bottom or left and right of the display. Both black and white edges are invalid image areas. The liquid crystal display is a light emitting device, the liquid crystal display is back light emitting, and the liquid crystal itself does not emit light. The power consumption of the backlight accounts for more than 70% of the total power consumption of the liquid crystal display. We are working constantly on web browsing and watching the backlight behind the white and black edges that appear in web movie images. Turning off this portion of the inactive image backlight may reduce the operating power consumption of the display. The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to turn off the backlight at the back of the invalid image (black or white) of the display. The consumption of electric power is reduced when the display is operated. Further, the display area of the display may be defined autonomously by the user. For example, a 32 inch 3840 x 2160 display may actually display 4 1920 x 1080 images at a 1:1 ratio. The user can freely define the display area of the user. And then turn off the backlight at the back of the non-display area to reduce the operating power consumption of the display.
The backlight of the current display is always working and consumes power.
Therefore, the control system and the control method of the energy-saving display are provided, a user can freely define the display area of the display, the display closes the corresponding backlight of the defined non-display area, and the working energy consumption of the display is reduced, so that the display is more energy-saving.
