Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus to transition a display device between operating modes using a single dedicated pin of a circuit connected to the display device. The dedicated pin can receive a packet signal corresponding to an operating mode for the display device, and the circuit can thereafter cause the display device to transition into the desired operating mode in response to receiving the packet signal. The operating mode can be a low power on mode where an interface connected to the circuit is deactivated and at least some circuitry of the display device is throttled or powered off. The display device can be driven in an all black state while in the low power on mode, thereby allowing the display device to more quickly transition out of the low power on mode compared to when the display device is completely off.
