Abstract
The preferred embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for reducing the battery power required by a handheld device () that incorporates a graphical display (). Graphical display (), display drivers (), LCD controller () and a memory () are optimized such that several pixels of information may be clocked simultaneously when the device is operating in a partial display mode. The optimized circuitry reduces the required refresh clock frequency () and thus the current drain on a device battery () thereby improving device operation time.
