Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying always-on content on a display of a mobile device allow the device to use a low power processor for certain always-on content and to coordinate with the device application processor for the remaining always-on content. In an embodiment, a pixel row-skip pattern is specified by the low power processor based on the display screen's resolution setting as well as ambient light conditions. In a further embodiment, the execution of pixel rendering in keeping with the prescribed pattern is synchronized between the device's low power processor and main application processor.
