13 Power Save Modes
Two Power Save Modes have been incorporated into the S1D13704 to accommodate the
need for power reduction in the hand-held devices market. These modes are enabled as
follows:
13.1 Software Power Save Mode
Software Power Save Mode saves power by powering down the panel and stopping display
refresh accesses to the display buffer.
13.2 Hardware Power Save Mode
Hardware Power Save Mode saves power by powering down the panel, stopping accesses
to the display buffer and registers, and disabling the Host Bus Interface.
