A method for updating images displayed on an electronic display of a mobile device includes determining a time interval between successive updates of an image frame. The image frame is displayed on the electronic display, and the mobile device is configured to be in a low power mode between the successive updates. The method also includes receiving one or more application updates within the time interval after a first update of the image frame, and updating the image frame after the time interval based on the one or more application updates.

Low power display updates

An attachable article or device, such as a wristband, includes a flexible electronic display disposed thereon in a manner that is bendable or conformable to a user's wrist or other curved surface, and that enables various images to be displayed on the electronic display in a manner that is easily viewable to the user. The attachable article implements a messaging routine that enables a user or wearer to receive notifications of incoming messages and to selectively view incoming messages or indications thereof. Upon receipt of a message, the attachable article may activate one or more vibrational or other tactile signal generating element elements disposed at various locations on the article to inform the wearer that a new message exists and may present the contents of a message in a split display screen format or using a natural messaging methodology that waits for the user to take some specific natural action before displaying the message. Different vibrational patterns across the plurality of vibrational elements may signify different types of messages, and associations between vibrational patterns, message types, and locations on the flexible display at which different message indicators are displayed may be configurable.
