Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to display region filtering. A pixel priority value for each of a plurality of pixels on a display region are assigned in response to identifying portions of the display region for prioritization, wherein the pixel priority values indicate a relative importance of each of the pixels, respectively, for viewing based on a magnitude of the pixel priority values. The pixel priority value of each pixel is compared to a first pixel priority threshold to identify pixels of the plurality of pixels having pixel priority values which do not satisfy the first pixel priority threshold. The pixels of the plurality of pixels having pixel priority values which do not satisfy the first pixel priority threshold are deactivated, wherein a subset of pixels satisfies the first pixel priority threshold and remain active.
