Abstract
A display module (,) with reduced power consumption uses a control circuit (,) to reset row and column display drivers (,) and turn off a portion of the display (,) when the display module (,) is in a partial display mode. The partial display mode allows a reduction in the driving voltages for the display which in turn reduces the power needed by the bias voltage divider (,) which produces the driving voltages. The display module (,) with reduced power consumption is applicable to both LCD and non-LCD technologies, such as electroluminescence or cathode ray tube, using a multiplex or scanning methodology.
