Abstract
Various embodiments relating to reducing memory bandwidth consumed by a continuous scan display screen are provided. In one embodiment, an indication of a static image period of a continuous scan display screen is determined. A reference image of a first image format having a first bit depth is converted into a modified image of a second image format having a second bit depth that is less than the first bit depth. During the static image period, the modified image is scanned onto the continuous scan display screen.
