If the screen is only refreshing once per second, less energy is used to refresh the screen. The pixel uses the same amount of power.

I was not under the impression that sending some control signals took that much power.
Maybe not, but doing it once a second instead of 60 times a second is a pretty massive savings.
You have to compute the new frame too. I would assume that is were most of the power use is.
