Backdrops & battery life

(1/2) > >>

falkeid:
Do the colors on backdrop effect the battery life? For example, would the black backdrop
consume less power than a white backdrop?

Thanks.

psycho_maniac:
first post so correct me if im wrong. but white backround on the ipods use less then a black backround

falkeid:
Interesting. Black is zero, white is 256 so I thought white would use more power on LCD.

Rockbox default and Ipod are both using white background so I think that might be
the reason.

I will use white background.

Thanks.

safetydan:
The use of backlight dominates any current draw that different colors on the LCD might have. So basically use whatever background image/color you like, but keep the backlight usage to a minimum.

falkeid:
Backlight uses more power when it is on, and less power if it is dim.

So, black background should use less power. This conflicts using white backdrop.
I don't get it.
