Anyone who has accidentally snapped the controller off a working LCD can tell you that the pixel capacitance keeps the colours approximately correct for about 10 seconds before it all becomes a murky shadowy mess...
So it makes sense you could cut the refresh time down to a second to save power...
Although one wonders if it's worth it when the backlight uses far more power than the control electronics...
It's for OLED screens, so there's no backlight, but also no persistence.
It's an LCD display.
Are you sure? Article says:
> A 1Hz panel is almost, but not quite, on the level of an e-ink panel, which isn’t the prettiest to look at. LG’s panel also uses LED technology, the mainstream panel technology that’s being overtaken at the high end by OLED panels with essentially perfect contrast.
These are self emissive pixels.
Edit: apparently not? Article says OLED with this tech will come in 2027, seems this panel it’s LCD
Article also says "LG’s panel also uses LED technology"
