Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to identify viewable areas of a display panel (such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel) of a display panel assembly that are currently not utilized by a user, and then to selectively and dynamically turn off backlights or blocks of backlights (e.g., such as light emitting diode 'LED' backlight elements) that illuminate viewable areas of the display panel that correspond to these non-utilized viewable areas. The systems and methods may be so implemented in one example to reduce power consumption of a display panel assembly.
