Abstract
An electronic device may have a display and a gaze-tracking system. The display may use different resolutions in different portions of the display. Point-of-gaze information from the gaze-tracking system may be used to align a high-resolution portion of the display with the viewer's point-of-gaze. In the surrounding portions of the display, the resolution of the display may be decreased. This reduces power consumption, computation power, and bandwidth requirements without sacrificing the user experience. The resolution of the human eye is lower for purely chromatic signals than it is for luminance (brightness signals). To exploit this, the image data for the display may have an achromatic (white/black) luminance channel and two chromatic opponent channels. The opponent channels may then be compressed by a greater amount than the luminance channel, which increases the overall compression of the image data.
